Summary:
The 38578 zip code has only one school, Pleasant Hill Elementary, a public school serving grades PK-8 with 588 students. The school is part of the Cumberland County school district, which is ranked 70 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Pleasant Hill Elementary's academic performance is concerning, with math and English Language Arts proficiency rates below the county and state averages across all grade levels. The school's science and social studies scores are more mixed, with some grades performing above the district and state, while others are below. The school's overall statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, suggesting a downward trend in performance compared to other Tennessee elementary schools.
Another significant issue is the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 18.9%, which is a concerning metric. Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $10,480 and a low student-teacher ratio of 15.7, the school's academic challenges persist, indicating that factors beyond just funding and resources, such as instructional quality, curriculum, and school leadership, may be contributing to the school's performance issues.
