Summary

Deerfield Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Manchester, Tennessee, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 273 students. The school is part of the Coffee County School District, which is ranked 86 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Deerfield Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Coffee County and Tennessee state averages in proficiency rates for Math, English Language Arts, and Science across all grade levels. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.1% to 20.2% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Deerfield has significant achievement gaps between different student subgroups, with female students consistently outperforming male students and white students underperforming compared to the state average.

When comparing Deerfield Elementary to other nearby schools in the same district, such as East Coffee Elementary and North Coffee Elementary, Deerfield consistently underperforms academically. These nearby schools have higher proficiency rates and better overall performance. The high chronic absenteeism rates and the school's struggles with special education and low-income student populations may be contributing factors to Deerfield's lower academic performance, suggesting that the school could benefit from a closer examination of its instructional practices, student support systems, and strategies for addressing these challenges.
