Elementary Schools in Benton County

Summary:

The Benton County school district in Tennessee is home to two elementary schools: Camden Elementary and Briarwood School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade in the Benton County area.

Based on the available data, Briarwood School appears to be the stronger-performing of the two schools. In the 2024-2025 school year, Briarwood School ranked 596 out of 1,009 Tennessee elementary schools, while the ranking for Camden Elementary is not provided. Additionally, Briarwood School's test scores in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science generally outperform the Benton County and Tennessee averages.

However, both Camden Elementary and Briarwood School have a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 18.9% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the state average. This is an area that the district may need to address through targeted interventions to improve student attendance and engagement.
