Its biggest challenge is 5th grade, where math proficiency drops to 37.7% and ELA to 35.2%, well below district averages.
Both schools outperform their district in attendance, with chronic absenteeism at 14.1% for the elementary and 15.4% for the middle school, compared to 19.4% district-wide. Per-student spending is slightly higher at the elementary school ($13,155) than at the middle school ($12,523). Since there are no high schools in 37923, families should plan for the transition to high schools outside the zip code. Overall, the middle school offers stronger academics, while the elementary school shows promise in early grades but has a notable 5th-grade dip that parents may want to monitor.
