Una Elementary

Summary:

Una Elementary is a public elementary school located in Nashville, Tennessee, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 749. 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.

Una Elementary faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low performance across all subject areas and student subgroups. The school has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (51.94%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 25-47% Hispanic. This demographic shift may be contributing to the school's struggles, as Una Elementary's performance is particularly low for Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking in the bottom 40% and bottom 30% of Tennessee elementary schools, respectively, in these subgroups. In contrast, nearby schools in the Rutherford County district, such as Cedar Grove Elementary and LaVergne Lake Elementary, perform significantly better, with higher proficiency rates and higher rankings.

Over the past few years, Una Elementary has seen a decline in its white student population (from 28.99% in 2020-2021 to 17.62% in 2022-2023) and a corresponding increase in Hispanic students (from 41.42% to 51.94%). This demographic shift, coupled with the school's consistently low performance, suggests that Una Elementary may be facing systemic challenges that require a comprehensive, data-driven intervention strategy to address the specific needs of its student population.

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.
