Summary

Maury City Elementary School is a small PK–5 school in Maury City, Tennessee, serving 211 students as part of Crockett County Schools, a district ranked 55th out of 141 Tennessee districts. The school has become a standout performer, ranking 183rd out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools for 2025–2026 — the 82nd percentile with a 4-star rating, a dramatic jump from just a few years earlier when it sat in the 48th percentile with 2 stars in 2018–2019.

Academically, Maury City is well above both district and state averages: math proficiency is 68.7% (district 45.9%, state 43.0%), and ELA proficiency is 54.2% (district 34.2%, state 40.6%). Within Crockett County, it is the top-ranked elementary school, ahead of Gadsden Elementary and Friendship Elementary. It also outperforms Spring Hill Elementary, Bells Elementary, and Halls Elementary, with only Alamo Elementary and Holice Powell Elementary ranking higher nearby. The school is especially effective with economically disadvantaged students, ranking 147th out of 843 schools statewide for low-SES students — the 83rd percentile. Chronic absenteeism is just 11.7%, well below the Tennessee state average of 18.3%, though slightly above the district's 9.8%.

The clearest area for improvement is a 5th-grade dip: math proficiency falls from 82.1% in 4th grade to 55.2% in 5th, and ELA drops from 64.3% to 34.5% — below the state average of 42.7%. Science proficiency (59.0%) is above state averages but trails nearby Holice Powell Elementary's 78.0%. Notably, Maury City achieves these strong results while spending about $13,510 per student — less than Friendship Elementary ($16,527) and Spring Hill Elementary ($17,733) — demonstrating efficient use of resources. With sustained growth over the past several years, Maury City is clearly headed in the right direction, and addressing the 5th-grade slump and science gap could push it even higher.
