Tullahoma

The Tullahoma school district in Tennessee serves students from preschool through 12th grade across 8 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 virtual high school. The district's performance is mixed, with some standout schools like East Middle School and Robert E Lee Elementary performing well, while others struggle with low test scores and high chronic absenteeism rates.

Among the district's top-performing schools, East Middle School stands out, ranking 205 out of 583 Tennessee middle schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has strong test scores, particularly in mathematics and science. Similarly, Robert E Lee Elementary is the district's top-performing elementary school, ranking 373 out of 1,009 Tennessee elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating with above-average test scores.

However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, with most schools performing below the state averages in mathematics, English language arts, and science. Tullahoma High School, the largest high school in the district, has particularly low proficiency rates, with only 11% of students proficient in Algebra I and 24.8% proficient in Algebra II. Additionally, all schools in the district struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.9% to 18.9%, which likely contributes to the overall low academic performance.
