Summary:
The 37869 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. While the schools in this area serve a predominantly white student population, they face varying challenges in student performance and resource allocation.
Hancock High School stands out as a consistently low-performing school, ranking in the bottom 25% of Tennessee high schools over the past 3 years. With proficiency rates well below state averages across all subject areas, the school's struggles are evident. In contrast, Clinch School, the alternative school, has shown some brighter spots, with higher than average proficiency rates in certain subject areas like US History and English II, despite also struggling in other areas like math and English language arts.
The data also reveals variations in funding and staffing across the schools. Clinch School has the highest spending per student and the lowest student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its relatively stronger performance. Exploring the relationship between resources and student outcomes could provide valuable insights for the Hancock County and Hawkins County school districts in addressing the educational needs of this community.
