Summary

Bargerton Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Lexington, Tennessee, part of the Henderson County School District. With 273 students, Bargerton Elementary consistently outperforms the county and state averages in mathematics, science, and social studies proficiency.

Bargerton Elementary's strong performance is particularly noteworthy in mathematics, where 51.3% of students were proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to 45.5% in Henderson County and 42.2% statewide. The school also excels in science, with a proficiency rate of 56.7% in 2024-2025, outpacing the county at 51.8% and the state at 46.1%. In social studies, Bargerton's proficiency rate of 54.4% in 2024-2025 was higher than the county's 51.6% and the state's 49%.

While Bargerton Elementary's performance in English Language Arts (ELA) is more mixed, with some grades exceeding the county and state averages and others falling behind, the school's overall strong academic results suggest that it is effectively implementing curriculum and instructional strategies to meet the needs of its students. However, the school should address the concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism, which rose from 15.0% in 2022-2023 to 20.2% in 2022-2023 and 18.5% in 2023-2024.
