Norman Binkley Elementary

Summary:

Norman Binkley Elementary is a public elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee, serving 668 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.

Norman Binkley Elementary faces significant challenges, with a student population that is 57.63% Hispanic, significantly higher than nearby schools. The school's academic performance, as measured by TNReady test scores, is consistently lower than the Davidson County and Tennessee state averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 30.8% of students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 29.5% in Davidson County and 39.7% statewide. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Tennessee elementary schools, placing it in the bottom 30% of schools statewide.

However, the school's strong ranking for African American students and English Language Learner (ELL) students indicates that there may be successful practices in place for these subgroups. Nearby schools, such as Glendale Elementary, perform exceptionally well, while others, like Haywood Elementary, perform even worse than Norman Binkley. This suggests that factors beyond just the district and community demographics play a role in a school's success, and there may be opportunities to learn from the school's successful practices and apply them more broadly.

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.

Open Quote I love this school. My daughter is in 4th grade and she started here when she was in second grade. The teachers are the best, and the principle's. Also the counselors are amazing and the special classes. My daughter has excelled in two years to above her grade level. They take their time and the love the student. If I could give this school a million stars I would. Close Quote

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.
