of 1,019 Tennessee Elementary Schools

Better than 96% of Tennessee elementary schools

Summary

Forest Hill Elementary School in Germantown, TN, serves 698 students in grades PK-5 and is part of the Germantown Municipal Schools district, a top-ranked school system in Tennessee. The school has earned a 5-star rating in every year of available rankings and currently sits in the top 4% of elementary schools statewide, ranking 36th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools in 2025-2026.

Academically, Forest Hill dramatically outperforms state averages, with roughly 78-81% of students proficient in math, English language arts, and science compared to statewide rates of 40-47%. English language arts is a particular standout: 80.9% of Forest Hill students are proficient, compared to 40.6% statewide and 70.4% across the district. That figure also exceeds nearby Schilling Farms Elementary School (73.8%) and Farmington Elementary School (76.0%), and is only surpassed by Dogwood Elementary School (84.2%) in the local cluster. What truly sets Forest Hill apart, however, is its success with student groups that are often underserved elsewhere: African American students ranked 6th of 498 schools statewide (99th percentile), and special education students ranked 9th of 618 schools (99th percentile) in 2024-2025.

Forest Hill also keeps chronic absenteeism remarkably low at 6.8%, compared to state rates above 20%. That stands in stark contrast to nearby Memphis-Shelby County Schools like Germanshire Elementary School and Germantown Elementary School, where chronic absenteeism ranges from 9.1% to 27.0% and math and ELA proficiency sit at just 35-41%. One area worth watching: 4th- and 5th-grade math proficiency (79.0% and 76.6%) trails district averages, as does 5th-grade science (72.9% vs. 77.4%). Still, for families in Germantown, Forest Hill offers a consistently excellent, well-rounded elementary education with particular strengths in literacy and equitable results across student groups.
