Summary

Friendship Elementary is a public elementary school in Friendship, Tennessee, serving 123 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Crockett County School District, which is ranked 58 out of 139 districts in the state.

Despite increased per-student spending and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Friendship Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages in academic proficiency. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were just 31.3% in Mathematics and 31.3% in English Language Arts, significantly lower than the Crockett County district's 47.6% and 34.3%, and the state's 42.2% and 38.9%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low in 3rd and 4th grade core subjects, with proficiency rates often below 25%. Additionally, Friendship Elementary has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 10.3% to 20.2% over the past few years.

Interestingly, nearby schools like Maury City Elementary and Holice Powell Elementary consistently outperform Friendship Elementary in academic achievement, ranking in the top 30-40% and significantly above Friendship's ranking of 759 out of 1,009 Tennessee elementary schools. Despite the increased spending and low student-teacher ratio, Friendship Elementary's educational outcomes remain a concern, and addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive approach to improve the learning experience for its students.
