Summary:
The 37301 zip code is home to a single elementary school, North Elementary, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 376 students. North Elementary is part of the Grundy County school district, which is ranked 101 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
North Elementary appears to be a relatively strong performer in mathematics and science compared to the district and state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 40-79.4% in math and 48.9-64.3% in science. However, the school struggles in English Language Arts, with proficiency rates ranging from 23.4-42.9%, generally underperforming the Grundy County and Tennessee state averages. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 18.9% is notably higher than the state average, which could be an area of concern and focus for improvement.
Despite the Grundy County school district's overall underperformance, North Elementary seems to be one of the stronger-performing schools within the district based on the test score data. The school's relatively high per-student spending of $13,016 and low student-teacher ratio of 15.3 to 1 suggest a focus on providing resources and support for students, which may be contributing to the school's stronger performance in certain subject areas. However, without data on the school's free/reduced lunch rate, it's difficult to assess the socioeconomic factors that may be influencing the school's performance.
