Guild Elementary

Summary:

Guild Elementary is a public elementary school in Gallatin, Tennessee, serving 625 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Sumner County School District, which is ranked 28 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

While the Lakeview Elementary School, George A Whitten Elementary, and other nearby schools perform well academically, Guild Elementary's student performance on TNReady assessments is significantly lower than the Sumner County and Tennessee state averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 23.3% of Guild Elementary students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 58% in Sumner County and 39.7% statewide. Similarly, only 20.8% of Guild Elementary students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 48.1% in Sumner County and 37.6% statewide.

Guild Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to many of the surrounding schools, with a higher percentage of African American (26.88%) and Hispanic (21.76%) students. This diversity may suggest that the school faces unique challenges in addressing the educational needs of its student population, which could contribute to the observed academic underperformance. Additionally, the lower academic performance at Guild Elementary, coupled with its more diverse and potentially economically disadvantaged student population, may indicate that the school is not receiving adequate funding or resources compared to the higher-performing schools in the area.

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.
