Pigeon Forge Intermediate

Summary:

Pigeon Forge Intermediate is a public middle school serving grades 4-6 in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, part of the Sevier County School District. The school has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students compared to nearby schools.

While Pigeon Forge Intermediate has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student than some nearby schools, its academic performance lags behind. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (39.6%), English Language Arts (29.7%), and Science (39.3%) are consistently below the Sevier County and Tennessee state averages. In contrast, some nearby schools, such as Seymour Junior High and Gatlinburg Pittman Junior High, have shown stronger performance, ranking in the top 25% of Tennessee middle schools.

The higher spending per student at Pigeon Forge Intermediate does not appear to be translating into stronger academic outcomes compared to nearby schools with lower per-student spending, such as Maury Middle School and Carter Middle School. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as curriculum, teaching quality, and school leadership, may be contributing to the school's performance challenges.

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.
