Summary:
The 37087 zip code area is home to 10 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, spread across the Wilson County and Lebanon school districts. While some schools, like Jones Brummett Elementary School and Tuckers Crossroads Elementary School, consistently rank among the top performers in the state, others, such as Winfree Bryant Middle School and Byars Dowdy Elementary, struggle to meet state averages in many subject areas.
The data reveals a significant disparity in academic performance across the schools, with some institutions, like Lebanon High School, experiencing fluctuations in their rankings and results over the years. Additionally, the schools with more diverse student populations, such as Walter J. Baird Middle School and Winfree Bryant Middle School, tend to have lower proficiency rates compared to the schools with predominantly white student bodies, suggesting potential equity issues that warrant further investigation.
The data also reveals that the relationship between per-student spending and academic performance is not always straightforward. While some of the higher-spending schools, like Tuckers Crossroads Elementary, perform exceptionally well, others, like Castle Heights Elementary, have more modest results. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as teaching quality, curriculum, and school leadership, may play a significant role in determining a school's success.
