Summary:
The 37618 zip code area is home to 3 schools that span elementary, middle, and high school grade levels: Sullivan East High School, Bluff City Elementary, and Sullivan East Middle School. These schools share a common characteristic of having a predominantly white student population, ranging from 91.97% to 93.88%. However, the data reveals a concerning pattern of underperformance across these schools, with test scores generally below the Sullivan County and Tennessee state averages.
Among the standout schools, Sullivan East High School stands out for its declining statewide ranking, going from 235th out of 358 Tennessee high schools in 2021-2022 to 270th out of 374 in 2023-2024, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Similarly, Bluff City Elementary has seen a slight improvement in its statewide ranking, but its test scores remain below the county and state averages. Sullivan East Middle School also struggles, with its test scores consistently falling short of the Sullivan County and Tennessee state benchmarks.
The data suggests that the schools in the 37618 zip code area face significant challenges, with a lack of racial diversity, declining or stagnant performance, and potential resource allocation disparities. These findings highlight the need for a comprehensive review of the factors influencing student outcomes and the implementation of targeted interventions to address the identified issues and improve the educational experiences for students in this area.
