Summary:
The 38039 zip code in Tennessee is home to a single public elementary school, Grand Junction Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 and has a total enrollment of 163 students. The school is part of the Hardeman County Schools district, which is ranked 129 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Grand Junction Elementary's student population is predominantly African American (91.41%), with small percentages of White (3.68%), Hispanic (3.68%), and two or more races (1.23%) students. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in mathematics and English Language Arts are generally higher than the district average but lower than the state average. In science and social studies, the school's proficiency rates are lower than both the district and state averages. While the school's statewide ranking has improved over the past three years, it is still in the bottom half of Tennessee elementary schools and has a low 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($11,963) and low student-teacher ratio (12:1), its academic performance suggests that resources may not be the primary factor limiting the school's success. Other factors, such as curriculum, teaching quality, or school leadership, may be more influential. Addressing the school's academic challenges, particularly in the areas of English Language Arts and Social Studies, should be a priority for the district and school leadership.
