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.

Open Quote I was reviewing with my child a form from the school on classroom expectations for new 6th graders. I had him read it out loud so I knew that he understood what the expectations are for this new school year. At the end of the form the child was supposed to print his/her name and sign it. My child COULD NOT SIGN HIS OWN NAME. I asked him why he printed and did not sign and he said that he did not know how to write in cursive, therefore, he could not sign his name. Talk about an eye opener. I had heard about the decision to do away with cursive -- however, just thinking that this child will one day be an adult called upon to sign bank documents, income tax forms, credit card receipts, rental applications, etc., etc., etc.

As of today, I will begin teaching a 6th grader how to write in cursive. How very, very sad that the schools today do not see the need to teach something as basic as how to sign your name. The school ranking within the State is so poor as to be an embarrassment. I've changed his school, but how many other BASIC EDUCATION 101 THINGS HAS HE NOT BEEN TAUGHT? Shame on you principals, teachers, administrators, supervisors, etc. for allowing our Tennessee children to be ranked this low among their peers in other states. Shame on me for not noticing sooner that my child could not even sign his name. Close Quote

Open Quote There are some real gems at this school as far as teachers go, but they can only do so much for the overall experience in this school. Kids are poorly behaved, foul-mouthed and I constantly have to coach my son to not fall prey to the ones who are dishonest. He has already been stolen from twice. There were a lot of lofty statements made about the program and how issues are handled, but I have yet to see anything enforced if I don't go down to the school and press the issue. My kid is miserable... we're looking for some alternatives now but Goodlettsville has no other options. That makes ME miserable!

I am a very patient person but this is one of those 'if I had known then what I know now' situations. It is making me crazy to see how it is destroying my child! His teacher is terrific and all but when you have a principal who seems to think that discipline can be replaced by a forced handshake and 'apology' there isn't much hope for order, let alone education...

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.
