Similarly, Carter's Valley Elementary has a 3-star rating and test scores above the county and state averages in mathematics and English language arts.

Volunteer High School has a lower graduation rate and higher dropout rate compared to the state average, while all schools in the district struggle with chronic absenteeism. The variation in per-student spending, from $11,174 to $14,000, suggests that some schools may have access to more resources than others, which could impact their ability to support student learning. Addressing these district-wide issues will be crucial for improving educational outcomes for all students in Church Hill.
