Summary:
The city of Lyles, Tennessee is home to 4 schools serving grades K-12, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district as a whole faces academic challenges, a few schools stand out with promising performance and improvement trends.
East Hickman Intermediate School has shown consistent improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 515th to 675th out of over 1,000 Tennessee elementary schools. The school performs relatively well in mathematics, exceeding the county and state averages, but lags behind in English Language Arts. In contrast, East Hickman Middle School has seen its ranking improve from 455th to 384th out of 594 Tennessee middle schools, with strong science performance but struggles in mathematics and English Language Arts.
The district's high school, East Hickman High School, is a consistent underperformer, ranking in the bottom quarter of Tennessee high schools with a 1-star rating. The school's test scores are significantly lower than the Hickman County and state averages across multiple subjects. Addressing the high school's challenges should be a priority for the district, while also building on the relative strengths of the intermediate school and tackling the district-wide issue of chronic absenteeism.
