Summary

Collinwood Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Collinwood, Tennessee, part of the Wayne County School District. With 374 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Tennessee elementary schools over the past decade, currently at 664 out of 1,009 schools.

Collinwood Elementary faces several challenges. It consistently underperforms the state and county averages on TNReady assessments, particularly in math, where only 28.8% of students were proficient or better, compared to 42.2% statewide and 22.3% in the Wayne County district. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.4% to 21.2% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. While the school's spending per student is higher than the state average, it does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes.

Compared to nearby schools, Collinwood Elementary's performance is generally worse than that of Waynesboro Elementary, another school in the Wayne County district. However, both schools underperform South Lawrence Elementary, a school in the neighboring Lawrence County district that consistently outperforms the state and county averages across all subjects and grade levels. Addressing the challenges at Collinwood Elementary will require a comprehensive approach to improve the school's educational outcomes and support the success of all its students.
