Summary

Crab Orchard Elementary School is a PK–8 public school in Crab Orchard, Tennessee, serving 461 students within Cumberland County Schools. The school ranks 236th of 1,019 Tennessee schools (77th percentile, 4 stars), making it the highest-ranked elementary school among its same-district peers. This is notable because its home district is only a mid-tier Tennessee district (3 stars), yet the school consistently outperforms that benchmark — and has held 4-star status for two consecutive years.

Crab Orchard outperforms both its district and the state in every core subject: math (53.0% proficient vs. 43.0% statewide), English language arts (48.5% vs. 40.6%), science (50.7% vs. 46.9%), and social studies (53.1% vs. 51.4%). The early grades are truly exceptional — 71.4% of 3rd graders and 80.6% of 4th graders are proficient in math, compared to 42.6% and 49.4% statewide. But what really sets this school apart is its performance with economically disadvantaged students: it ranks 42nd of 823 schools statewide (95th percentile, 5 stars) for this group. That means the school is not just high-performing overall — it is especially effective at helping students who face the largest academic barriers.

Crab Orchard also has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate in its region at 10.3%, well below the district's 15.2% and the state's 18.3%. When compared with nearby schools, it outranks Homestead Elementary (ranked 313th) on overall state ranking, ELA, science, social studies, and attendance — though Homestead posts slightly higher math proficiency. The only nearby school with a better statewide ranking is Spring City Elementary (171st), but that school serves only PK–5 and has higher chronic absenteeism. Areas worth watching include dips in 5th and 7th grade scores, though 8th grade math rebounds sharply to 56.4% proficiency vs. 38.3% statewide. Overall, Crab Orchard is a rising school delivering strong, consistent results for a broad range of students.

A lot of misinformation, negative write ups and sendings out the classroom, no positive reinforcement, very poor culture. Close Quote
