Elementary Schools in Coffee County

Summary:

The Coffee County school district in Tennessee is home to 6 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools include Hillsboro Elementary, North Coffee Elementary, New Union Elementary, Deerfield Elementary School, East Coffee Elementary, and Hickerson Elementary.

Coffee County schools show a wide range of performance, with North Coffee Elementary and Hickerson Elementary standing out as the top performers. North Coffee Elementary has consistently high proficiency rates in math and English, while Hickerson Elementary excels in science. However, the district as a whole struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be contributing to lower academic outcomes across many of the schools.

Interestingly, there does not appear to be a clear correlation between higher spending per student and better academic performance. For example, Deerfield Elementary School, which spends the most per student, has some of the lowest proficiency rates in the district. The data suggests that the Coffee County schools could benefit from focusing on improving math, English, and attendance, while also looking to the stronger performing schools as models for best practices.
