Summary:
The West Carroll Sp District in Tennessee is home to three schools: two elementary schools (West Carroll Primary and West Carroll Elementary School) and one junior/senior high school (West Carroll Junior/Senior High School). While the district as a whole is underperforming, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, there are some standout schools within the district.
West Carroll Elementary School stands out as a relatively stronger performer, ranking 500 out of 1,009 Tennessee elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating. The school had relatively strong performance on state assessments, with proficiency rates above the district and state averages in several subjects, including Science and Social Studies. In contrast, West Carroll Junior/Senior High School struggled, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in most subjects, despite having a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89.2%.
A concerning trend across all three schools in the district is the high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.9% to 18.9% in 2023-2024. This issue, coupled with the relatively low spending per student and high student-teacher ratios, may be contributing to the overall low academic performance in the district. Addressing these challenges and ensuring equitable distribution of resources could be key focus areas for improvement in the West Carroll Sp District.
