Madison County

At 85th, Madison County is just outside the bottom ten Tennessee counties in child wellbeing. The county's best rankings include a low rate of substantiated cases of child abuse and neglect and a below average percentage of pregnancy among girls age 15 to 17. The county's biggest opportunities for improvement are a high rate of students suspended from school and low rates of students demonstrating proficiency on TNReady reading and math tests.

Additional strengths include an above average high school graduation rate and a rate of children without health insurance that matches Tennessee's low average.

Additional challenges include high housing costs and a high child and teen death rate.

Policy/Practice/Program Options to Improve Outcomes. Many of these policies have multiple models for delivery, including public-private partnership and non-profit leadership.

? Suspension rates can be reduced through clear definitions of what constitutes suspendable behavior and a focus on restorative discipline practices that aim to improve behavior while keeping children in school.

? Increased access to pre-K can help both math and reading proficiency in later grades. Early assessment of reading skills coupled with appropriate interventions where needed can improve reading proficiency, while increasing STEM opportunities in elementary and middle schools can help improve 3rd to 8th grade math proficiency.

? Pro-active housing policy that helps ensure affordable housing is available for people to live where they work can improve negative outcomes related to high housing costs.

? Child and teen deaths can be reduced with consistent enforcement of safety measures like proper car seat and seat belt use, bicycle helmet use and life preserver use around water. Most child and teen deaths are the result of accidents, especially motor vehicle accidents.
