North Stewart Elementary

Summary:

North Stewart Elementary is a public elementary school in Big Rock, Tennessee, serving 432 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Stewart County School District.

North Stewart Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of white students (92.36%) compared to nearby schools like Cumberland Heights Elementary and Minglewood Elementary, which have more diverse student populations. The school has also seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 136 out of 855 Tennessee elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 446 out of 1008 in 2023-2024, in contrast to Dover Elementary, which has maintained a more consistent ranking.

While North Stewart Elementary performs relatively well for its low socioeconomic status (SES) students, its performance for white students and special education students lags behind the Stewart County and Tennessee averages. However, the school's strongest performance is in 5th-grade mathematics, where it exceeds the state and county averages. Addressing the declining performance trend, racial homogeneity, and subgroup disparities could be key focus areas for the school to improve its overall academic outcomes and provide equitable educational opportunities for all 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.
