Summary

New Union Elementary School is a PK–5 public school in Manchester, TN, serving 297 students as part of Coffee County Schools. The school currently holds a 3-star rating and ranks 422nd out of 1,019 elementary schools statewide (59th percentile), placing it in the upper-middle tier of Tennessee schools. That is notably stronger than the district overall, which ranks 83rd of 141 Tennessee districts. Within the immediate area, the school is the second-highest-ranked Coffee County elementary school behind Hillsboro Elementary School, and it sits comfortably ahead of North Coffee Elementary School, East Coffee Elementary School, Hickerson Elementary School, and Deerfield Elementary School. It is outranked, however, by nearby College Street Elementary School and Westwood Elementary School, both part of Manchester City Schools.

New Union Elementary School’s biggest academic strength is English Language Arts: 46.9% of students are proficient, the highest among all Coffee County elementary schools in the comparison group and well above the Coffee County Schools district average (36.4%) and the state (40.6%). Science proficiency is also strong at 51%, besting the district, state, and every nearby school except Hillsboro Elementary School. Math proficiency is essentially at the state average (43.2% vs. 43%). The school also stands out for attendance: only 9.3% of students are chronically absent, far below the state rate of 18.3% and the district rate of 10.6%. Students from low-income families are performing well too, with this subgroup ranking in the 61st percentile statewide.

The most striking concern is a slide between 3rd and 5th grade. In 3rd grade, math proficiency is 57.1% — more than 14 points above the state — but by 5th grade it falls to 32.7%, nearly 15 points below the state. English Language Arts shows a similar but less severe pattern. English Language Learners and special education students also need additional support, ranking in the 20th and 23rd percentiles respectively. Historically, the school was a top-quartile performer (87th percentile in 2017–18) but has settled into the upper-middle range. This year’s rebound from the 49th to 59th percentile suggests the school may be stabilizing, and closing the intermediate-grade gap could help it return to its former standing.
