Summary

Farmington Elementary School in Germantown, TN, serves just under 650 students in grades PK-5 and is part of the highly rated Germantown Municipal Schools district, which ranks 5th out of 141 districts in Tennessee. Farmington itself has earned a 5-star rating every year going back to 2017, currently placing 38th out of 1,019 elementary schools statewide—the top 4% in the state.

Math is a standout subject: 82.4% of students are proficient, nearly double the state average of 43%, and higher than district and most nearby schools. English language arts and science are also very strong, with proficiency rates in the mid-70s compared to around 40% statewide. One of the most impressive achievements is with special education students—Farmington ranked 3rd out of 618 schools statewide in that area. The school also keeps chronic absenteeism very low at 6.2%, versus nearly 19% statewide, and spends about $15,535 per student—more than any nearby elementary school—helping maintain a low student-teacher ratio of 13.4 to 1.

Within the immediate Germantown area, only Dogwood Elementary School ranks higher, and it currently leads Farmington in every subject. Farmington still outpaces other nearby schools like Forest Hill Elementary School and Bailey Station Elementary School. The school has seen a slight step back from its historic peak—it was ranked 11th just two years ago—but remains an elite choice. The contrast with schools just a few miles away in Memphis-Shelby County Schools is dramatic: Germantown Elementary School has 35.1% math proficiency and Cordova Elementary School has 25.1%, a stark reminder of how much variation exists within a small geographic area.

Fantastic school in terms of the teachers. Building is a bit old, but don't care about that. Kid enjoys going to school and loves it. Learns a lot and teachers seem to push the kids to higher grounds. Teachers also are fair and provide both positive and negative feedback! Close Quote
