Dayton


Summary:

Dayton, Tennessee is home to a single public school, Dayton City Elementary, which serves grades PK-8 and has an enrollment of 863 students. The school is part of the Dayton District, which is ranked 29th out of 139 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Dayton City Elementary appears to be performing relatively well compared to state averages. The school's mathematics, ELA, science, and social studies proficiency rates all exceed the state averages. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 18.9% is higher than the state average, which could be an area of concern. Without data on free/reduced lunch rates, it's difficult to assess the socioeconomic status of the student population and how that may be impacting the school's performance.

In terms of resources, Dayton City Elementary spends $12,153 per student, which is higher than the state average. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.7, which could be a positive factor in supporting student learning. Overall, while Dayton City Elementary seems to be performing well academically, there are areas, such as chronic absenteeism, that could benefit from further investigation and improvement efforts.
