Summary

New Union Elementary is a public elementary school in Manchester, Tennessee, serving 298 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Coffee County School District.

While New Union Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 194th out of 985 Tennessee elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 515th out of 1009 in 2024-2025, its academic performance generally falls below the state and district averages in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science. Compared to nearby schools like Deerfield Elementary and Cannon South Elementary, New Union Elementary's performance is mixed, outperforming some but lagging behind others like College Street Elementary and Westwood Elementary.

Additionally, New Union Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.9% in 2022-2023 to 18.9% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state and district averages. The school's per-student spending has increased from $10,473 in 2020-2021 to $14,183 in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average, but its student-teacher ratio of 13.8 in 2023-2024 is slightly lower than the surrounding schools. Addressing the declining academic performance, equity concerns for English Language Learner and Special Education students, and high chronic absenteeism will be crucial for New Union Elementary to better serve its community.
