Collinwood Middle School

Summary:

Collinwood Middle School is a public middle school in Collinwood, Tennessee, serving grades 5-8 with a student population of 239. The school is part of the Wayne County School District, which is ranked 120 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Collinwood Middle School faces significant academic challenges, consistently underperforming the state and county averages in standardized test scores across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (19.6%), English Language Arts (27.8%), and Science (29.8%) were significantly lower than the state averages of 39.7%, 37.6%, and 44%, respectively. The school's rankings among Tennessee middle schools for specific student groups, such as female students, male students, white students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students, are generally in the bottom half of the state, with many rankings in the bottom third. Despite the school's increased spending per student over the past few years, the academic performance has not shown significant improvement.

Interestingly, a nearby school, Waynesboro Middle School, also struggles with low academic performance, with proficiency rates and rankings similar to or even lower than Collinwood Middle School, indicating a broader systemic issue within the Wayne County School District. The school's high percentage of white students and low percentage of minority students, coupled with its underperformance compared to state and county averages, suggest that the school may need to re-evaluate its instructional strategies, resource allocation, and support systems to address the root causes of its academic struggles and improve outcomes for all 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.
