Summary:

The 37407 zip code area in Chattanooga, Tennessee, is home to 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (Clifton Hills Elementary School and East Lake Elementary School) and 1 middle school (East Lake Academy of Fine Arts). While the schools share a common zip code, their performance and focus vary significantly.

Among the standout schools, East Lake Elementary School stands out with higher proficiency rates in mathematics and science compared to the Hamilton County district and state averages. In contrast, the two elementary schools and the middle school all struggle with consistently low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, significantly trailing the district and state. The middle school, East Lake Academy of Fine Arts, has a unique focus on fine arts but still lags behind in core academic areas.

Across the schools, high chronic absenteeism rates and lower student-teacher ratios suggest that factors beyond resources may be contributing to the academic challenges. Addressing these systemic issues will be crucial to improving educational outcomes for students in the 37407 zip code area.
