Summary

Homestead Elementary School in Crossville, TN, is a PK–8 campus serving 737 students in Cumberland County Schools. The school ranks 313th of 1,019 Tennessee schools — the 69th percentile with a 3-star rating — and has been a stable, upper-middle performer for the past several years, with its statewide percentile rank hovering between the 68th and 81st percentiles since 2021–22. Its district ranks 65th of 141 Tennessee districts (54th percentile, also 3 stars), so Homestead is performing comfortably above the local average.

Mathematics is Homestead's clear standout. All-grades math proficiency is 56.9%, well above the district (43.8%) and state (43.0%), and is the highest among nearby comparable schools — Crab Orchard Elementary posts 53.0% and South Cumberland Elementary 52.8%. The 8th-grade result is especially striking: 70.4% proficient versus 50.7% for the district and 38.3% for the state, a 32-point gap. English Language Arts is solid but less dominant, with 47.4% proficiency compared to 39.4% for the district and 40.6% for the state, though both South Cumberland (52.5%) and Crab Orchard (48.5%) post higher ELA scores.

Science is above average overall (48.7% vs. 45.2% district and 46.9% state), but 3rd-grade science lags at 33.3% — 11 points below the state. Social studies is mixed: 6th grade shines at 66.7%, while 7th and 8th grades fall slightly below district and state averages. Chronic absenteeism is low at 14.4%, below both the district (15.2%) and state (18.3%), and per-student spending is moderate at $12,581. The school has served female students and, historically, low-income students very well — its low-SES subgroup reached the 93rd percentile in 2024–25 before dropping to the 60th percentile in 2025–26, a change worth monitoring. Overall, Homestead is a stable, upper-middle-performing school whose biggest competitive advantage is math.
