Summary

Rivercrest Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Bartlett, TN, serving 674 students as part of Bartlett City Schools, a high-performing district ranked 15th out of 141 districts in Tennessee. The school carries a 4-star SchoolDigger rating and ranks at the 71st percentile statewide for 2025–2026, comfortably above the state median. That marks a modest step back from recent years—the school sat at the 80th percentile in 2023–2024 and 76th in 2024–2025.

Academically, the school beats Tennessee state averages in all three subjects—math (54% vs. 43%), ELA (51.3% vs. 40.6%), and science (53.3% vs. 46.9%)—and outpaces its district average in ELA. However, math and science lag the district, and the school sits near the bottom of a very strong group of six Bartlett elementary schools, roughly tied with Oak Elementary and well behind Bon Lin Elementary. The grade-level growth pattern is promising: 3rd graders start well behind the district average, but by 5th grade they have caught up or exceeded it in math and ELA. The school also ranks in the top 11% statewide for its effectiveness with African American students. The biggest concerns are special education, which has ranked in the bottom quarter statewide for three straight years, and low-SES student performance, which has fallen from a top-6% standing to below the state median in just two years.

Attendance is a quiet strength: the chronic absenteeism rate of 12.0% is essentially tied with the district average and well below the state rate of 18.3%. The contrast with nearby Memphis-Shelby County Schools is dramatic—Raleigh-Bartlett Meadows Elementary posts just 9.4% math proficiency and a 41.8% absenteeism rate, while Lucy Elementary and Brownsville Road Elementary also fall far short. The school's 54% math proficiency is roughly three to six times higher than these nearby schools. Bottom line: this is a dependable 4-star school in one of Tennessee's top-rated districts. Its main challenges are internal—raising math and science proficiency and reversing the low-SES decline—but strong attendance and solid grade-level growth position it well for the future.
