Summary:
The 38315 zip code area has only one public school, Bethel Springs Elementary, which serves grades PK-8 with an enrollment of 440 students. While the school has adequate funding and resources, its academic performance is a significant concern, with consistently below-average test scores and low statewide rankings compared to other Tennessee elementary schools.
Bethel Springs Elementary has a predominantly white student population, with only a small percentage of minority students. This lack of diversity could indicate potential issues with equity and inclusion that the school may need to address. The school's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio are relatively favorable, but these resources do not seem to be translating into strong academic outcomes for the students.
Overall, the data suggests that McNairy County and the state of Tennessee should closely examine the challenges facing Bethel Springs Elementary and work to implement strategies that can improve the school's academic performance and provide a high-quality education for all students in the 38315 zip code area.
