Summary:
The 37892 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Winfield Elementary, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 173 students. The school is part of the Scott County school district, which is ranked 115 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Winfield Elementary's performance, as measured by test scores, is consistently below the average for Scott County and the state of Tennessee across multiple subject areas and grade levels. For the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in Mathematics ranged from 20.8% (3rd grade) to 52.6% (6th grade), compared to 43.3% (3rd grade) to 47.1% (5th grade) for the state. Similarly, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 15.4% (8th grade) to 37.5% (3rd grade), compared to 41.7% (3rd grade) to 47.7% (4th grade) for the state. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 18.9% is also relatively high, which could be a contributing factor to the low test scores.
Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student of $14,286 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.8, these additional resources do not appear to be translating into improved educational outcomes for the students. The data suggests that Winfield Elementary is a struggling school that may need additional support and resources to improve student performance and address the challenges facing the school and the district.
