Summary

Richland Elementary is a public elementary school located in Lynnville, Tennessee, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 506 students. The school is part of the Giles County School District, which is ranked 79 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Richland Elementary consistently performs above the Giles County and Tennessee state averages in proficiency rates for Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Richland Elementary had 46.4% of students proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 39.6% for Giles County and 42.2% for Tennessee. The school's performance is particularly strong in Science, with 54.4% of students proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to 48.1% for Giles County and 46.1% for Tennessee. However, the school's performance for white students and low socioeconomic status students is relatively lower, with 2-star ratings in 2024-2025.

Richland Elementary outperforms the nearby Pulaski Elementary and Southside Elementary, which are also part of the Giles County School District, in academic proficiency rates across all subject areas. However, some schools in the neighboring Lawrence County and Marshall County districts, such as Summertown Elementary and Cornersville Elementary, demonstrate stronger academic performance than Richland Elementary in certain subject areas. The school also faces challenges with increasing chronic absenteeism rates, which may be an area for the school to focus on.
