Jonesborough Elementary

Summary:

Jonesborough Elementary is a public elementary school serving 485 students in grades PK-4 in Jonesborough, Tennessee, which is part of the Washington County School District. While the district is ranked 40 out of 140 in the state and has a 4-star rating, Jonesborough Elementary faces several key challenges.

Notably, the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (84.12%) compared to the surrounding schools, which have more diverse student populations. Academically, Jonesborough Elementary's performance, as measured by TNReady test scores, lags behind the state and Johnson City district averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (37.9%) and English Language Arts (39.1%) were lower than the state (38.1% and 36.6%) and district (45.4% and 46%) averages. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from a high of 271 out of 853 Tennessee elementary schools in 2013-2014 to a low of 732 out of 983 in 2020-2021.

Jonesborough Elementary's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as white students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students, who rank in the bottom quartile of Tennessee elementary schools. When compared to other local elementary schools, such as Sulphur Springs Elementary and Boones Creek Elementary, Jonesborough Elementary's performance is notably lower across multiple academic measures.

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.
