Cockrill Elementary

Summary:

Cockrill Elementary is a public elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee, serving 275 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Davidson County school district, which is ranked 122 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cockrill Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Tennessee elementary schools, with academic performance significantly below the state and district averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 2022-2023, only 5.9% of Cockrill students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 38.1% statewide and 26.4% in the Davidson County district. The school's performance is particularly low for Hispanic and low-socioeconomic status students, ranking in the bottom 5-10% of Tennessee elementary schools for these subgroups. Despite spending more per student ($16,304 in 2020-2021) than the nearby Charlotte Park Elementary ($13,662) and Sylvan Park Elementary ($13,243), Cockrill's academic outcomes do not reflect this higher investment.

The nearby schools, such as Eakin Elementary and Sylvan Park Elementary, demonstrate significantly higher academic performance, with proficiency rates well above the state and district averages. These high-performing schools have student populations that are more racially and socioeconomically diverse than the state and district averages, suggesting that factors beyond just student demographics play a role in academic success. Examining the practices and approaches of these nearby high-performing schools may provide valuable insights for Cockrill Elementary to improve its educational outcomes.

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.
