Elementary Schools in Fayette County Public Schools


Summary:

The Fayette County Public Schools district in Tennessee is home to 4 elementary schools, serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. While the district as a whole faces challenges, with a low ranking of 137 out of 139 in the state, some individual schools within the district stand out in their performance.

Southwest Elementary emerges as the top-performing school, ranking 557 out of 1,018 Tennessee elementary schools and achieving the highest test scores in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science across multiple grade levels and years. In contrast, La Grange Moscow Elementary has the lowest test scores among the 4 schools. Buckley-Carpenter Elementary School also stands out, ranking 867 out of 1,009 Tennessee elementary schools and having the lowest student-teacher ratio at 16.9.

A concerning issue across all 4 schools is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 18.9%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the variation in spending per student, ranging from $13,082 to $13,815, suggests potential funding disparities within the district. These challenges, along with the district's overall low ranking and 0-star rating, indicate the need for targeted interventions to improve educational outcomes for all students in the Fayette County Public Schools district.
