Lobelville Elementary

Summary:

Lobelville Elementary is a public school serving grades PK-8 in Lobelville, Tennessee, with a student population of 239. The school is part of the Perry County School District, which is ranked 132 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lobelville Elementary faces significant challenges, with consistently underperforming academic results compared to state and county averages. The school's proficiency rates in mathematics (22.6%) and English language arts (17.1%) in 2023-2024 were well below the state averages of 39.7% and 37.6%, respectively. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 435 out of 985 Tennessee elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 907 out of 1,008 in 2023-2024, and it is currently rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. However, the school's performance for low socioeconomic status students is a bright spot, with the school ranking 25 out of 858 Tennessee elementary schools in 2021-2022.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Lewis County Intermediate School, Lobelville Elementary generally underperforms on academic measures. The school also has a significantly higher percentage of white students (92.47% in 2022-2023) compared to the state average, and its performance for this student group is a concern, with the school ranking 833 out of 840 Tennessee elementary schools in 2023-2024. These findings suggest that Lobelville Elementary needs to address issues of equity and ensure that all students, regardless of race or socioeconomic status, are receiving a high-quality education.

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.
