Summary

Jack T Farrar Elementary is a public elementary school in Tullahoma, Tennessee, serving 360 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Tullahoma school district, which is ranked 108 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jack T Farrar Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Tennessee elementary schools, with proficiency rates in Mathematics (36.5%) and English Language Arts (32.3%) that are lower than the Tullahoma and Tennessee averages. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.3% to 22.3% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the state average. Despite relatively high per-student spending of around $14,500, the school's performance lags behind nearby Robert E Lee Elementary and Bel Aire Elementary, which have higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings.

The consistent underperformance of Jack T Farrar Elementary, particularly for certain student subgroups, suggests that the school may be facing systemic challenges that need to be addressed. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates and re-evaluating the allocation of resources could be crucial steps in improving student outcomes at the school.
