Summary:
The 37408 zip code area of Hamilton County, Tennessee is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school. While the district as a whole is ranked 79 out of 139 in the state, the schools in this area show significant disparities in academic performance and resources.
The standout school in the group is Battle Academy for Teaching and Learning, an elementary school with a 3-star rating and higher-than-average proficiency rates in core subjects. Battle Academy benefits from a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to the other schools. In contrast, The Howard School and Howard Connect Academy struggle academically, with proficiency rates often less than half the state and county averages.
The data suggests that systemic inequities and challenges facing high-poverty schools contribute to the wide achievement gaps observed between the schools in this zip code area. While families may have some school choice options, the Hamilton County district as a whole faces the need to address these disparities and ensure all students have access to high-quality educational opportunities.
