Summary:
The 38450 zip code area in Tennessee is home to three public schools - Collinwood Elementary, Collinwood High School, and Collinwood Middle School - all part of the Wayne County school district. Unfortunately, the data shows these schools are consistently underperforming, with test scores well below state averages across all grade levels.
None of the three schools in the 38450 zip code area stand out as high-performing. All three have very low proficiency rates on state assessments, often 10 percentage points or more below the Tennessee average. For example, at Collinwood Elementary, only 27.8% of students were proficient in Math, compared to the state average of 39.7%. The student populations at these schools also lack diversity, with overwhelmingly white student bodies and very low representation of minority students.
Across the board, the 38450 schools face systemic challenges that are impacting student outcomes. The consistent $10,666 spending per student suggests a potential lack of targeted resource allocation to address the unique needs of these lower-performing schools. Meaningful improvements will likely require a comprehensive, district-level strategy from Wayne County to drive sustainable change and better support students in this area.
