Summary

Smith Springs Elementary School is a public elementary school in Antioch, Tennessee, serving 760 students in grades PK-4 as part of the Davidson County school district. Unfortunately, the school consistently ranks in the bottom half of Tennessee elementary schools, with academic performance significantly below state and district averages across all subject areas and grade levels.

Smith Springs Elementary struggles to effectively serve its diverse student population, with particularly low rankings for subgroups like Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and Special Education students. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.9% to 27.8% over the past few years, which is well above the state and district averages. While the school's spending per student has increased in recent years, it remains below the state average.

Compared to nearby schools in the Davidson County district, such as Una Elementary, Mt. View Elementary, and Thomas A. Edison Elementary, Smith Springs Elementary performs significantly worse across various academic metrics. However, the school does outperform the nearby Rocketship Dream Community Prep, a public charter school, in some areas.
