Summary:
The 37872 zip code is home to a single alternative public school, Sunbright School, which serves grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 510 students. Sunbright School is part of the Morgan County school district, which is ranked 131 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Sunbright School's academic performance is consistently lower than the Morgan County district and the state of Tennessee across various subject areas and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 16.2% of Sunbright School students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 25.6% in Morgan County and 39.7% statewide. The school's student population is predominantly White (95.49%), with small percentages of other racial groups. While Sunbright School spends $11,515 per student, its lower test scores suggest that the allocation and utilization of these resources may not be optimized to effectively support student learning and achievement.
As an alternative school, Sunbright may serve a unique population of students with specific educational needs or challenges, which could contribute to the lower academic performance observed. However, the lack of data on free/reduced lunch rates makes it difficult to assess the potential impact of socioeconomic factors on the school's performance. Further investigation into the school's mission, approach, and the broader educational context in the region would be necessary to develop a more comprehensive understanding of the factors contributing to Sunbright School's performance and identify potential areas for improvement.
