What this school's NCES data tells you
Green Magnet Math and Science Academy reports 359 enrolled students to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) alongside 34.0 full-time-equivalent teachers, producing a 10.6:1 student-teacher ratio. That figure sits 32% below the Tennessee state mean of 15.6:1, signalling more teacher attention per pupil than the state benchmark. Against the national 2024-25 average of 15.9:1, it is 33% lower, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.
Counselor coverage works out to roughly 359 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 53.8% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Knox County spends $11,040 per pupil district-wide, below the Tennessee average of $12,324 and below the national average of $19,490. Revenue comes 49.9% from local sources (property taxes), 35.6% from the state, and 14.6% from federal programs per the NCES F-33 finance survey. Taken together, these measurements produce a Resource Investment Index of 39/100 (F), calculated from 4 distinct NCES and CRDC indicators measuring resource allocation rather than academic outcomes.
