Stratton Elementary

Summary:

Stratton Elementary is a public elementary school located in Madison, Tennessee, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 474. The school is part of the Davidson County school district, which is ranked 122 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stratton Elementary faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, equity, and resource allocation. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Tennessee elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. Its proficiency rates in TNReady assessments for Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science are significantly lower than the Davidson County and Tennessee state averages across all grade levels. The school's performance is particularly low for White, Hispanic, and Special Education student groups, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Tennessee elementary schools for these subgroups. Despite a relatively high per-student spending of around $14,000, which is higher than the state average, the academic outcomes do not seem to be improving.

The academic performance of Stratton Elementary is in stark contrast to some of the nearby schools, such as Dan Mills Elementary, which consistently ranks in the top 15% of Tennessee elementary schools and has significantly higher proficiency rates on TNReady assessments. Stratton Elementary has also experienced a gradual decline in enrollment and a shift in its racial composition, with the percentage of White students decreasing from 13.63% in 2020-2021 to 9.92% in 2022-2023. This trend may have implications for the school's funding, staffing, and community engagement.

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.
