While there are no clear standout schools in the data, an analysis of Laurel Elementary reveals concerning trends. The school's statewide rank has declined over the past three years, from 615 out of 1,020 Tennessee elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 762 out of 1,009 in 2024-2025. Its performance rating by SchoolDigger has also dropped from 2 stars to 1 star out of 5 during this time period. Academically, Laurel Elementary's proficiency rates in core subjects like Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science are significantly lower than state averages, with the Mathematics proficiency rate at just 13.3% compared to the state average of 42.2%.
Despite these academic challenges, Laurel Elementary appears to have adequate funding and resources, with a relatively high per-student spending of $20,148 and a low student-teacher ratio of 9.3 to 1. However, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 18.9% in 2023-2024 may be a contributing factor to its underperformance. Overall, the data suggests that Laurel Elementary is struggling to provide its students with a high-quality education, and addressing the root causes of its academic and attendance issues will be crucial for improving the school's performance.
