Summary:
The 37762 zip code in Tennessee is home to two schools: Jellico High School and Jellico Elementary, both part of the Campbell County school district. While Jellico High School has a 2-star rating and ranks 255 out of 389 Tennessee high schools, Jellico Elementary lags behind with a 1-star rating and a ranking of 818 out of 1,009 elementary schools in the state.
Jellico High School's performance is mixed, with a 89.2% four-year graduation rate and a 6.7% dropout rate. The school's test scores are generally below the state and county averages, except for US History, where they outperform. In contrast, Jellico Elementary shows a mix of above-average and below-average test scores compared to the state and county, but it struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 18.9%.
Both schools serve a population with significant economic challenges, as indicated by the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite similar per-student spending, the disparity in performance between the two schools suggests that factors beyond funding, such as attendance, may be contributing to the differences in academic achievement. The data highlights opportunities for improvement in areas like raising test scores, reducing chronic absenteeism, and addressing socioeconomic barriers to student success.
