Summary:
The 37097 zip code area has only one school, Lobelville Elementary, a public school serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 239 students. While the school's per-student spending is above the state average, its academic performance on TNReady assessments consistently lags behind state and district averages across all subject areas and grade levels.
Lobelville Elementary's proficiency rates in Mathematics range from 13.3% to 36%, compared to the state average of 39.7%, and in English Language Arts, the proficiency rates range from 10% to 21.2%, compared to the state average of 37.6%. The school's overall performance has declined over the past three school years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 632 out of 1,000 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 907 out of 1,008 in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school has a predominantly White student population, with very low percentages of minority students, which may impact the diversity of the educational experience.
Despite the relatively high per-student spending, Lobelville Elementary's academic underperformance and declining performance suggest that the school may be struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students. This indicates that a more comprehensive approach to school improvement, focusing on factors such as instructional practices, teacher quality, and school leadership, may be necessary to address the challenges faced by the school and improve student outcomes.
