Crockett County

The Crockett County school district in Tennessee consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals significant variation in academic performance across the district, with some schools consistently outperforming the county and state averages, while others lag behind.

Maury City Elementary and Gadsden Elementary stand out as the top-performing schools, with high proficiency rates in mathematics and English Language Arts, respectively. In contrast, Friendship Elementary has the lowest test scores in the district, with only 31.3% of students proficient or better in both subjects. The district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 18.9% is a concern and likely contributes to the academic challenges faced by some schools.

Crockett County High School has a relatively high graduation rate of 89.2% and a low dropout rate of 6.7%, but its academic performance on standardized tests is more mixed, with proficiency rates below the state average in several subject areas. The data also suggests potential equity issues, as the higher-performing elementary schools serve smaller student populations compared to the lower-performing Friendship Elementary.
