Summary:
The West Carroll Sp District in Tennessee is home to two elementary schools: West Carroll Primary (grades PK-2) and West Carroll Elementary School (grades 3-6). While both schools face challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates, West Carroll Elementary School has shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking and outperforms the district and state averages in several academic subjects.
West Carroll Elementary School has made progress, moving from 645th out of 1,020 Tennessee elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 500th out of 1,009 in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school has higher proficiency rates than the district and state in mathematics, English language arts, science, and social studies. In contrast, both schools struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates, which is an area the district may need to address.
The funding differences between the two schools are also noteworthy, with West Carroll Primary spending $15,882 per student compared to $13,000 per student at West Carroll Elementary School. This disparity may be an area for the district to investigate further to ensure equitable resource allocation across the schools.
