Summary

Oak Elementary School in Bartlett, TN, serves 711 students in grades PK–5 and is part of Bartlett City Schools, a district ranked 15th out of 141 in Tennessee. Oak itself ranks in the 71st percentile statewide (4 stars, 299th out of 1,019 elementary schools), putting it comfortably above Tennessee state averages in math (56.3% proficient vs. 43% statewide), ELA (47.2% vs. 40.6%), and science (54% vs. 46.9%). The school also posts strong attendance, with only 10.3% chronic absenteeism—well below the state rate of 18.3% and the district rate of 12.1%.

Within its own high-performing district, however, Oak sits in the lower-middle tier. Bon Lin Elementary School and Bartlett Elementary School outperform Oak in every subject—Bon Lin posts 69.1% math and 66.9% ELA proficiency, compared to Oak's 56.3% and 47.2%. Oak's ELA scores are below every same-district peer, making reading/language arts its clearest area for improvement. The current 3rd-grade cohort is a particular concern, scoring 7–11 points below district averages in all subjects. There are bright spots: 4th-grade math (67.3%) tops the district, and Oak is dramatically stronger than nearby Memphis-Shelby County Schools like Raleigh-Bartlett Meadows Elementary School (1st percentile) and Dexter School (9th percentile).

Oak's statewide rank has slipped from the 85th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 71st percentile in 2025–2026, even as per-pupil spending rose from $12,166 to $14,222—a sign that the gap isn't about resources but about instructional focus, particularly in ELA, where the gap with Bon Lin is nearly 20 points. On a positive note, special education students have improved from the 53rd to the 67th percentile statewide over the same period. For parents, the key takeaway is that Oak is a solid, above-average school with strong attendance and a clear district advantage, but it faces urgent opportunities in reading instruction and support for its youngest students.
