Hickory Creek School

Summary:

Hickory Creek School is an elementary school in Mc Minnville, Tennessee, serving 662 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Warren County School District, which is ranked 119 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Hickory Creek School's proficiency rates in Mathematics (39.1%), English Language Arts (38.8%), and Science (36.3%) are higher than the Warren County district averages, they are still below the state averages. The school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 275 out of 985 elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 556 out of 1008 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school is not keeping pace with the academic progress of other schools in the state, and interventions may be needed to address this trend. Additionally, Hickory Creek School's performance is generally lower than that of nearby schools in the Warren County district, such as Eastside Elementary, Centertown Elementary, and Irving College Elementary, which have higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings.

Hickory Creek School also faces significant disparities in student group performance, with female students generally outperforming male students, and Hispanic and African American students, as well as students with special education needs and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, performing significantly below the state averages. This indicates that the school may need to focus on addressing equity and providing targeted support for underperforming groups. Despite increased per-student spending over the years, these challenges have not been adequately addressed, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the school's struggles.

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.
