Summary:
The 38259 zip code in Tennessee has only one public school, Trimble Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 168 students. Trimble Elementary is part of the Dyer County school district, which is ranked 23 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While Trimble Elementary is part of a relatively high-performing school district, the school's own performance metrics are mixed compared to state and district averages. The school has a chronic absenteeism rate of 18.9%, which is higher than the state average. Trimble Elementary's mathematics proficiency rates for all grades and individual grade levels (3rd, 4th, and 5th) are below the Dyer County and Tennessee state averages, while its ELA proficiency rates are more mixed, with 3rd and 4th-grade students performing above the district and state averages, but 5th-grade students performing at the state average. The school's science proficiency rates are generally in line with or slightly below the district and state averages.
Despite the lower academic performance, Trimble Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.7 and higher per-student spending of $14,681, which suggests that the school may have additional resources and support available to address the academic challenges. However, without the free/reduced lunch rate data, it's difficult to assess the socioeconomic factors that may be influencing the school's performance. Overall, Trimble Elementary appears to be a relatively average-performing school within a high-performing school district, and further analysis could provide more insights into how to improve student outcomes.
