Summary

Pegram Elementary Fine Arts Magnet School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Pegram, Tennessee, with 226 students enrolled. The school is part of the Cheatham County School District, which is ranked 64 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pegram Elementary's academic performance, as measured by TNReady test scores, is generally below the Cheatham County and Tennessee state averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (40%), English Language Arts (35.7%), and Science (37.1%) are lower than the county and state averages. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 7.4% to 20.2% over the past few years, which is above the state average. However, the school has a relatively high per-student spending of $14,482 in 2023-2024 and a lower student-teacher ratio of 14.1 in 2023-2024 compared to nearby schools.

Pegram Elementary's performance is particularly low for its White student population, ranking in the bottom 20% of Tennessee elementary schools for this subgroup across multiple years. In contrast, the school performs better for its low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the top 25% of Tennessee elementary schools in 2024-2025. The school's fluctuating performance and the comparison to nearby higher-performing schools, such as Kingston Springs Elementary and Grassland Elementary, suggest the need for a comprehensive review of the school's practices, resource allocation, and targeted interventions to address these issues and improve student outcomes.
