Summary:
The 37075 zip code area of Hendersonville, Tennessee is home to 16 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. This analysis provides a comprehensive overview of the academic performance and key metrics for these schools, highlighting the standout institutions and identifying areas for improvement.
Among the top-performing schools in the area are Hendersonville High School and Beech Senior High School, both of which rank among the top 20% of Tennessee high schools. These schools boast exceptional test scores, particularly in subjects like Biology I and US History. The middle schools also stand out, with T.W. Hunter Middle School and Robert E. Ellis Middle School ranking in the top 5% and 1% of Tennessee middle schools, respectively, due to their impressive proficiency rates across all subject areas.
However, the data also reveals significant disparities in educational outcomes within the 37075 zip code. While the top-performing schools excel, some lower-performing institutions, such as George A. Whitten Elementary, struggle to meet state benchmarks. This performance gap appears to be correlated with the racial makeup of the schools, with the higher-achieving schools generally having a larger percentage of white students. Additionally, the data does not show a clear relationship between per-student spending and academic performance, suggesting that factors beyond funding may be contributing to the uneven educational landscape in this area. As the Sumner County community works to address these disparities, the insights provided in this analysis can serve as a valuable resource for parents and education stakeholders.
