Hobgood Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Tennessee elementary schools, with its current ranking of 666 out of 1,008 schools in 2023-2024. The school's performance is relatively better for African American and Hispanic students, ranking 183 and 232 respectively, but lower for White students and English Language Learners. Hobgood's proficiency rates in TNReady assessments are consistently lower than the Murfreesboro district and Tennessee state averages across all grade levels, with the lowest rates in 6th grade.

Compared to nearby schools in the Murfreesboro District, such as Northfield Elementary, John Pittard Elementary, and Black Fox Elementary, Hobgood Elementary's performance is generally lower. However, the school's relatively better performance for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds suggests that there may be opportunities to learn from the strategies employed by the higher-performing schools and extend them to support the academic growth of all students at Hobgood Elementary.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
