Summary:
The 38477 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Elkton Elementary, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 277 students. While the school has a diverse student population, its academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in core subjects, is generally below the Giles County and Tennessee state averages.
Elkton Elementary's strongest performance is in 3rd grade Mathematics, where 61.5% of students are proficient or better, compared to 47.7% in Giles County and 41.6% statewide. However, the school's weakest area is in 8th grade English Language Arts, where only 8.3% of students are proficient or better, significantly lower than the 19.6% in Giles County and 29.2% statewide. Additionally, the school's ranking has declined over the past three years, from 475 out of 1,000 schools in 2021-2022 to 563 out of 1,008 schools in 2023-2024, indicating a potential decline in overall performance.
While the data set does not provide specific information on the school's socioeconomic factors, such as the percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, the per-student spending of $13,777 and a student-teacher ratio of 11:1 suggest that the school may face challenges in providing a high-quality education to its diverse student population. Further investigation and data collection would be necessary to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the school's strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement.
