Summary

North Coffee Elementary School is a PK–5 elementary school in Manchester, Tennessee, serving 354 students as part of Coffee County Schools. After peaking at the 79th percentile statewide in 2021–2022 with a 4-star rating, the school has slid steadily to the 45th percentile in 2025–2026 with a 2-star rating — a notable decline that happened even as district and state proficiency rates generally improved.

The academic drops have been most dramatic in math and ELA. In 2022–2023, the school's math proficiency was 50.3% and ELA was 49.7%, well above both district and state averages. By 2025–2026, math had fallen to 42.7% and ELA to 35.7% — below the state average in both subjects. Science remains a bright spot at 47.8%, above district and state levels. Looking at grade-level data, 4th graders are competitive, but 5th graders trail state averages by 12–15 points in all three subjects, which suggests either a challenging cohort or an upper-grade transition issue. The school's effectiveness with low-income students has also dropped sharply, from the 92nd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 42nd percentile in 2025–2026.

It's not all bad news. Chronic absenteeism is a clear strength at 9.0%, far better than the state rate of 18.3% and better than nearby Deerfield Elementary School (24.5%) and East Lincoln Elementary School (15.7%). The school also spends less per student ($13,283) than most local peers, including Hickerson Elementary School ($15,557), East Coffee Elementary School ($15,688), and Deerfield Elementary School ($15,321). In the local landscape, the school has slipped behind New Union Elementary School, which now ranks at the 59th percentile, while schools like Cascade Elementary School (83rd percentile), Robert E Lee Elementary School (73rd), College Street Elementary School (68th), and Westwood Elementary School (67th) sit well above it. For parents, the bottom line is this: North Coffee offers strong attendance and solid science instruction at a relatively low cost, but reversing the ELA decline and addressing 5th-grade performance will be critical to regaining its former standing.
