Love Chapel Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in Mathematics and Science, where it outperforms the district and state averages. The school also ranks highly for its Hispanic and female student populations, placing 30th and 282nd, respectively, among Tennessee elementary schools. However, the school's overall racial diversity is relatively low, with White students making up the majority of the student body. Compared to nearby schools, Rock Creek Elementary outperforms Love Chapel in several subject areas, while West View School in the Washington County district is a high-performing school that ranks among the top 10% in the state.

Despite these variations, Love Chapel Elementary has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating a stable level of academic performance. The school's spending per student has also increased in recent years, from $9,703 in 2018-2019 to $11,756 in 2020-2021. While the school's performance for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds is relatively strong, the lack of available data on free and reduced lunch rates makes it difficult to fully assess the impact of socioeconomic factors on student achievement.

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.
