Pegram, Tennessee is home to a single public elementary school, Pegram Elementary Fine Arts Magnet School, which serves grades PK-4. As the sole school in the city, it is the primary educational option for families in the Pegram area.

Pegram Elementary Fine Arts Magnet School has a statewide ranking that has fluctuated between the 50th and 63rd percentile over the past 3 years, indicating it is performing around the middle of the pack compared to other Tennessee elementary schools. The school's test scores in math, reading, and science are generally in the 30-40% proficiency range, which is not too far below the county and state averages. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 18.9% is on the higher side, potentially indicating issues with student engagement or other factors contributing to frequent absences.

While the school spends a relatively high $14,482 per student, the impact on student outcomes is unclear. Without data on the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, it is difficult to assess the socioeconomic makeup of the student population and how that may be influencing the school's performance.
