Amqui Elementary

Summary:

Amqui Elementary is a public elementary school in Madison, Tennessee, serving 510 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Davidson County school district, which is ranked 122 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Amqui Elementary stands out from the nearby schools in several key ways. The school has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic (44.51%) and African American (39.02%) students compared to the surrounding area, which tends to have a more balanced racial distribution. Academically, Amqui Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-20% of Tennessee elementary schools, with proficiency rates that are significantly lower than state and county averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 15.5% of Amqui students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 39.7% statewide and 29.5% in the Davidson County district. The school's performance is particularly low for its African American and Hispanic student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 50% of Tennessee schools for these groups.

Despite spending around $14,500 per student, which is higher than the nearby schools, Amqui Elementary's academic performance remains very low. This stark contrast in achievement is exemplified by Dan Mills Elementary, located just 3.93 miles away, which ranks in the top 25% of Tennessee elementary schools and has significantly higher proficiency rates across all subjects. The racial disparities and overall poor performance at Amqui Elementary raise questions about the equity and effectiveness of the broader Davidson County school district, which may need to address systemic issues to ensure all students have access to a quality education.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
