Summary

Jo Byrns Elementary School is a public elementary school in Cedar Hill, Tennessee, serving 347 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Robertson County School District, which is ranked 104 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's consistent underperformance on TNReady assessments compared to state averages, there are some bright spots. For example, Hispanic students at Jo Byrns Elementary have consistently performed well, ranking 32 out of 324 Tennessee elementary schools in the 2020-2021 school year. However, White students and students with special education needs have struggled, with their rankings falling in the bottom quartile of Tennessee elementary schools. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11.3% to 20.2% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, nearby schools in the Montgomery County district, such as Sango Elementary and Carmel Elementary, significantly outperform Jo Byrns Elementary and the Robertson County district as a whole, with much higher student achievement and lower chronic absenteeism rates. To address these challenges, the school and district should consider implementing targeted interventions, improving attendance strategies, and exploring opportunities for collaboration with higher-performing schools in the region.
