Collinwood Elementary

Summary:

Collinwood Elementary is a public elementary school in Collinwood, Tennessee, serving grades PK-4 with 342 students. The school is part of the Wayne County School District, which is ranked 120 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating.

Collinwood Elementary faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low test scores across all subjects and grade levels, ranking in the bottom half of Tennessee elementary schools. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (27.8%), English Language Arts (33%), and Science (39.1%) are all lower than the state averages. Collinwood's performance is particularly low for White students and students with low socioeconomic status, ranking in the bottom quarter of Tennessee elementary schools. Interestingly, the school's academic performance is better than that of South Lawrence Elementary in the Lawrence County School District, which serves a similar demographic population.

Collinwood Elementary's challenges may be related to its declining enrollment, which has dropped by over 20% in the past year, and lower spending per student, which has decreased from $11,940 in 2019-2020 to $10,666 in 2020-2021. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.8 to 13 students per teacher, suggests that the issues may not be directly related to staffing or class size. Overall, Collinwood Elementary's academic performance and student outcomes indicate a need for targeted interventions and support to improve the educational experience for its 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.
