Summary:
The city of Speedwell, Tennessee has only one school, Powell Valley Elementary, which serves grades PK-8 with 299 students enrolled. While the school spends a relatively high amount of $13,433 per student and has a small student-teacher ratio of 15.9 to 1, it appears to be underperforming compared to the Claiborne County district and the state of Tennessee as a whole.
Powell Valley Elementary's proficiency rates on the TNReady assessments are consistently lower than the county and state averages across subjects and grade levels. For example, in Mathematics, the school's overall proficiency rate was 32.7% compared to 30.2% for Claiborne County and 42.2% for the state. In English Language Arts, the school's overall proficiency rate was 31.1% compared to 30.6% for Claiborne County and 38.9% for the state. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 18.9%, which could be contributing to the lower academic performance.
Overall, while Powell Valley Elementary benefits from smaller class sizes and higher spending per student, the data suggests the school is underperforming compared to the rest of the Claiborne County district and the state of Tennessee. The school's low test scores and high chronic absenteeism rate indicate areas for potential improvement and further investigation.
