Summary

Frank P. Brown Elementary is a public elementary school located in Crossville, Tennessee, serving grades PK-8 with a student population of 598. The school is part of the Cumberland County School District, which is ranked 70 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Frank P. Brown Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past several years, dropping from 152nd out of 853 Tennessee elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 560th out of 1009 in 2024-2025, the school's performance on standardized tests is generally below the Cumberland County and Tennessee state averages across all subjects and grade levels. Particularly concerning are the low proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts, which are often 5-10 percentage points below the district and state averages. However, the school performs better in Science and Social Studies, with proficiency rates often at or above the district and state levels.

Frank P. Brown Elementary struggles with its performance for certain student subgroups, particularly White students and Special Education students, who rank in the bottom 20-30% of Tennessee elementary schools. In contrast, the school performs relatively well for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the top 30% of Tennessee elementary schools for this subgroup. Additionally, the school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.5% to 20.2% over the past few years, which is significantly above the state average. While the school has seen a steady increase in per-student spending and a decrease in student-teacher ratio, it generally performs worse than the other nearby schools in the Cumberland County district, such as North Cumberland Elementary, Pleasant Hill Elementary, and Crab Orchard Elementary.
