Public Grades

Summary

Coalmont Elementary is a public school serving grades PK-8 in Coalmont, Tennessee, with a student population of 199. The school is part of the Grundy County School District, which is ranked 99 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Coalmont Elementary faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low performance on state assessments. The school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (98.99%) compared to the state and surrounding schools, and its rankings on state tests (TNReady) have consistently placed it in the bottom quartile of Tennessee elementary schools over the past five years. Despite spending more per student ($11,746 in 2020-2021) than the state average, the school's academic performance has not improved, and its student-teacher ratio of 11.6 in 2022-2023 has not translated into better outcomes. Nearby schools in the Grundy County district, such as Pelham Elementary, Tracy Elementary, and Swiss Memorial Elementary, generally outperform Coalmont Elementary on academic measures.

The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (ranked 565 out of 858 Tennessee elementary schools in 2021-2022) may be a contributing factor to its academic struggles, as research has shown a strong correlation between poverty and educational outcomes. Coalmont Elementary's performance on state assessments has remained consistently low over the past several years, with no significant improvement observed, and its proficiency rates on TNReady assessments are significantly below the state and Grundy County averages in all subjects and across all grade levels.
