Midway Elementary

Summary:

Midway Elementary is a public elementary school located in Kingston, Tennessee, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 424. The school is part of the Roane County School District, which is ranked 53 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Midway Elementary consistently ranks in the top 30-35% of Tennessee elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 250-357 out of 1,000-1,020 schools over the past 6 years. The school's performance on TNReady assessments is generally higher than the Roane County and Tennessee state averages, particularly in mathematics and science. Midway Elementary's 5th-grade students consistently outperform their peers in the district and state, with over 70% proficient or better in mathematics and around 50% proficient or better in English Language Arts and Science. However, the school's special education students and male students perform below average, ranking in the bottom 40-50% of Tennessee elementary schools.

Midway Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (91.51%) compared to the surrounding schools, such as Kingston Elementary (57.87%) and Midtown Elementary (95.19%). This raises questions about the school's diversity and inclusiveness, and whether it is reflective of the broader community demographics. Additionally, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to some nearby schools, such as Steekee Elementary and Pine View Elementary, indicate that Midway Elementary may have access to more resources and support for its 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.
