McNairy County

The schools in McNairy County, Tennessee serve students from elementary through high school, with a mix of 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative virtual school. The data reveals a wide range of academic performance across the schools, with some, like Selmer Elementary and Michie Elementary, demonstrating strong results that exceed county and state averages, while others, like Bethel Springs Elementary, struggle to meet those benchmarks.

The student populations across the schools are predominantly white, ranging from 76.72% to 95.92% white students, suggesting a lack of racial diversity. Spending per student also varies significantly, from $3,613 at Selmer Elementary to $12,481 at Ramer Elementary, but this higher spending does not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes, indicating that factors beyond just funding may be at play in driving student achievement.

The McNairy County Virtual School K-12 serves a small but important role in the district, providing an alternative learning option for students. Its performance on the US History assessment is an area to monitor, as the virtual school's role in the district's educational landscape continues to evolve.
