Summary:
The 38019 zip code area of Tipton County, Tennessee is home to 6 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. While the schools in this area vary in their academic performance, a few standouts emerge, including Austin Peay Elementary School and Charger Academy, which outperform the district and state averages in key subject areas.
The racial makeup of the schools in this area is diverse, with Covington High School and Crestview Elementary having a more even split between White and African American students, while Charger Academy has a majority African American student population. This diversity is not always reflected in the academic performance, as some of the more racially homogeneous schools, like Charger Academy, tend to outperform the more diverse schools.
Funding also appears to play a role, with the school that spends the most per student, Austin Peay Elementary, also having some of the best academic outcomes. However, the Tipton County Alternative Learning Center, which serves a unique population of students, faces distinct challenges and has the lowest performance metrics across the board, highlighting the need for specialized support and resources in alternative education settings.
