Elementary Schools in Franklin County

Summary:

The Franklin County school district in Tennessee is home to 7 elementary schools, serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 103 out of 139 districts in the state and is rated only 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, suggesting broader challenges in supporting its schools and students.

Among the elementary schools, Sewanee Elementary stands out as a top performer, consistently ranking in the top 5-10% of Tennessee elementary schools. With exceptional test scores, where 80% or more of students are proficient or better in math, ELA, and science, and a low student-teacher ratio of 11.6, Sewanee Elementary is a shining example of academic excellence in the region. Broadview Elementary and North Lake Elementary also rank among the top 20-45% of Tennessee elementary schools, with strong test scores and relatively low student-teacher ratios.

In contrast, schools like Clark Memorial School, Decherd Elementary, and Rock Creek Elementary have significantly lower academic performance, with proficiency rates well below the state averages. This stark difference in achievement suggests disparities in resources, teaching quality, or other factors that may be contributing to the uneven outcomes across the Franklin County district.
