Summary:
The Union City school district in Tennessee operates three schools: Union City Elementary School, Union City Middle School, and Union City High School. The data shows that Union City High School is the standout performer, consistently ranking among the top 25% of high schools in Tennessee and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
In contrast, Union City Elementary and Middle Schools have more mixed performance, with their test scores and other metrics being more average. While they are ranked in the top half of their respective school types statewide, the elementary school has seen its ranking decline in recent years. All three schools, however, share a concerning issue of high chronic absenteeism rates around 19%, well above the state average.
Despite the differences in academic performance, the district appears to be allocating resources fairly, with the three schools spending between $12,340 and $13,991 per student, higher than the state average. The student-teacher ratios are also relatively small, ranging from 13.9 to 16.0. Addressing the chronic absenteeism and ensuring consistent academic performance across all grade levels will be key focus areas for the district going forward.
