Among the schools in this area, Paulette Elementary School and Big Ridge Elementary stand out as the top-performing elementary schools, with Paulette ranking 522 out of 1,009 Tennessee elementary schools and both schools having significantly higher proficiency rates in mathematics, English language arts, and science compared to the other elementary schools in the area. In contrast, Union County High School has particularly low proficiency rates, with only 13.1% of students proficient or better in Algebra I and 27.7% proficient or better in English I.
A concerning trend across all schools in the 37807 zip code area is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 18.9%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the data reveals stark disparities in performance between the schools, suggesting potential equity issues within the Union County school district, where some schools may be better resourced or supported than others. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to address the low academic performance, particularly at the high school level and in the lower-performing elementary schools.
