Summary

Eakin Elementary is a public elementary school located in Shelbyville, Tennessee, serving grades PK-5 with 623 students. It is part of the Bedford County school district, which is ranked 89 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Eakin Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Tennessee elementary schools, with rankings between 840-952 out of 1,000-1,020 schools over the past 7 years. The school's performance on TNReady assessments is significantly below the state and county averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 22.7% of Eakin students were proficient or better in math compared to 42.2% statewide and 35.9% in Bedford County. Eakin's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as White students and English Language Learners, who rank in the bottom 5-10% of Tennessee elementary schools.

The nearby schools in the Bedford County district, such as Community Elementary and Cascade Elementary, significantly outperform Eakin Elementary on academic measures, with rankings in the top 30-40% of Tennessee elementary schools and much higher proficiency rates on TNReady assessments. These higher-performing schools also have similar student-teacher ratios and spending per student, suggesting that factors beyond just resources may be contributing to Eakin's lower performance.
