Summary

East Robertson Elementary is a public elementary school located in Cross Plains, Tennessee, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 563 students. The school is part of the Robertson County School District, which is ranked 104 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

East Robertson Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Tennessee elementary schools, with a ranking between 450-723 out of around 1,000 schools over the past several years. The school's performance on TNReady assessments is generally below the state and county averages across all grades and subjects, with proficiency rates in Mathematics (39.5%) and English Language Arts (38.8%) lower than the state averages (42.2% and 38.9%, respectively). The school also experiences high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 13.2% to 20.2% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

In comparison, the nearby Clyde Riggs Elementary, Harold B. Williams Elementary School, and Oakmont Elementary in the Sumner County district consistently outperform East Robertson Elementary on academic measures and have higher rankings. However, the school's relative strengths in certain student subgroups, such as Female students, Male students, and Special Education students, suggest that there may be opportunities to leverage these areas to drive overall improvements in academic achievement.
