Julia Green Elementary

Summary:

Julia Green Elementary is a public elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee, serving 432 students from kindergarten to 4th grade. 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.

Julia Green Elementary consistently ranks among the top 10-35 elementary schools in Tennessee, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in TNReady assessments for Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science are significantly higher than the district and state averages across all grade levels. However, the school has a predominantly white student population, in contrast to the more diverse student bodies of nearby schools like Cockrill Elementary and Carter-Lawrence Elementary. Julia Green Elementary also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student compared to the state average, which may contribute to its academic success.

The analysis reveals potential disparities in student demographics and resource allocation within the Davidson County school district. While Julia Green Elementary stands out as an academically high-performing school, the lower rankings of nearby schools highlight the need for a closer examination of the factors contributing to the achievement gap in the district, to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.

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.
