Summary:
The 37719 zip code area is home to a single alternative public school, Coalfield School, which serves grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 505 students. The school's student population is predominantly White (96.04%), with small percentages of other racial groups.
While Morgan County and the state of Tennessee generally perform well on academic assessments, Coalfield School's proficiency rates on TNReady exams are consistently lower across various subjects and grade levels. For instance, in Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates range from 16.7% to 30.8%, compared to the state average of 34.1% to 44%. Similarly, in English Language Arts, Coalfield School's proficiency rates range from 14.3% to 42.9%, which are below the state average of 29.2% to 46.4%. The school's performance is particularly low in subjects like English I, Social Studies, and Algebra II, where the proficiency rates are significantly below the state averages.
Despite the school's academic challenges, its student-teacher ratio of 15.1 is slightly higher than the recommended 15:1 ratio, and its spending per student of $10,601 is in line with the state average. The specific factors contributing to Coalfield School's lower academic performance compared to the county and state may warrant further investigation, as the school's predominantly White student population could indicate the need for targeted support and interventions to improve student learning outcomes.
