Best Public Schools in Zip Code 37727


Summary:

The 37727 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Del Rio Elementary, which serves grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 92 students. The school's student population is entirely White, with no racial or ethnic diversity represented.

Academically, Del Rio Elementary's performance is a concern, with proficiency rates across all subject areas and grade levels falling below the county and state averages. The school's statewide ranking has dropped significantly in recent years, from 164th out of 1,000 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 643rd out of 1,008 in 2023-2024. This decline in academic achievement is a notable issue that warrants further investigation into the underlying causes, such as changes in curriculum, teaching quality, or student population.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.5 and higher-than-average per-student spending of $13,621, the disconnect between these resources and the academic performance raises questions about the effective utilization of these resources and the need to evaluate the school's instructional practices and support systems. Additionally, the lack of racial and ethnic diversity in the student population is an area that may require further exploration to understand the factors contributing to this homogeneity and any potential barriers to enrollment for non-White students.
