Summary

Ellendale Elementary School is a K–5 public school in Bartlett, TN, serving 502 students as part of Bartlett City Schools, one of Tennessee's highest-rated districts. The school has consistently earned a 4-star rating and, in 2025–2026, ranked in the 73rd percentile statewide — solidly above average, though not the top performer in its own competitive district.

Academically, Ellendale beats state averages in every subject: 57.1% of students are proficient in math, 50.6% in English language arts, and 54.7% in science, compared with state averages of 43%, 40.6%, and 46.9%. However, within Bartlett City Schools, it sits in the middle of the pack. Nearby Bon Lin Elementary posts significantly higher scores (69.1% math, 66.9% ELA), and Bartlett Elementary also outpaces Ellendale in all subjects. The contrast with Memphis-Shelby County Schools is even starker: Raleigh-Bartlett Meadows Elementary posts just 9.4% math proficiency and a 41.8% chronic absenteeism rate, versus Ellendale's 57.1% and 11.2%.

Ellendale's most distinctive strength is equity. Its Hispanic and low-income students rank in the 97th percentile statewide, and its African American students rank in the 81st percentile — well above the school's overall standing. Areas for growth include a notable gender gap (girls rank much higher than boys) and a dip in 5th-grade scores. Attendance is a clear positive, with chronic absenteeism roughly half the state average in recent years. At $14,571 per student, spending exceeds most district peers, making Ellendale a well-resourced, dependable choice for families seeking a solid education in a strong district.
