Summary

Charlotte Elementary is a public elementary school located in Charlotte, Tennessee, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 591 students. It is part of the Dickson County School District, which is ranked 35 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Charlotte Elementary's academic performance, as measured by TNReady test scores, is generally on par with or slightly below the Dickson County and Tennessee state averages across various subjects and grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 39.7% in Mathematics, 52.8% in English Language Arts, and 55.7% in Science, compared to Dickson County's 43.1%, 44.2%, and 55.2%, respectively, and Tennessee's 42.2%, 38.9%, and 46.1%. The school's performance has fluctuated over the years, with some years showing stronger results and others weaker, but it generally maintains a 3- or 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Interestingly, the school's performance for female students is generally stronger than for male students, and its performance for white students and special education students is also noteworthy, with the school ranking in the top half of Tennessee elementary schools for these subgroups in recent years. Additionally, the school's performance for low socioeconomic status students is particularly strong, with the school ranking in the top 20% of Tennessee elementary schools for this subgroup in the 2024-2025 school year.

One area of concern for Charlotte Elementary is its relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.3% to 20.7% in recent years, which is higher than the state average. The school also has a relatively high per-student spending of around $13,000 to $15,000 in recent years, which is above the state average, and a student-teacher ratio in the range of 12 to 14 students per teacher, which is slightly lower than the state average. When compared to nearby schools in the Dickson County district, such as Stuart Burns Elementary, Oakmont Elementary, and Centennial Elementary, Charlotte Elementary generally performs slightly below these schools on academic measures, but it outperforms some other nearby schools, such as Dickson Elementary and Vanleer Elementary.
