Summary

Tracy Elementary is a public elementary school located in Tracy City, Tennessee, serving grades PK-8 with 329 students. It is part of the Grundy County School District, which is ranked 101 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Tracy Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Tennessee elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 601-855 out of around 1,000 schools.

Tracy Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 12.6% to 20.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's test scores on the TNReady assessments are consistently lower than the state and Grundy County averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 23.1% of Tracy Elementary students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 38.9% statewide and 27.6% in Grundy County. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as White students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Despite increased spending per student, from $9,958 in 2020-2021 to $13,871 in 2023-2024, Tracy Elementary's performance has not shown significant improvement. The nearby schools in the Grundy County district, such as Swiss Memorial Elementary and North Elementary, generally outperform Tracy Elementary on test scores and other metrics, suggesting that factors within the district or community may be contributing to the challenges faced by Tracy Elementary. Addressing the underlying issues related to student engagement, family support, and access to resources will be crucial for improving student outcomes at the school.
