Summary

North Cumberland Elementary School serves 505 students in grades PK-8 in Crossville, Tennessee, as part of Cumberland County Schools. The school has shown significant momentum recently, climbing from the 33rd percentile statewide in 2024-2025 to the 49th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 2-star rating from the state.

Social Studies stands out as the school’s clear academic strength, with 52.1% of students proficient in 2025-2026—edging out both the district (50.4%) and state (51.4%) averages after a remarkable three-year jump from just 28.6%. Sixth grade is another bright spot, where math, ELA, and science scores all surpass state averages. However, math remains the biggest challenge overall, with only 35.5% of students proficient compared to 43.8% in the district and 43.0% statewide. This gap is especially visible in 5th and 7th grades. Among nearby schools, Crab Orchard Elementary School, Homestead Elementary School, and South Cumberland Elementary School outperform North Cumberland in math, while Stone Elementary School ranks slightly lower.

The school also posts strong attendance numbers, with a 14.0% chronic absenteeism rate in 2024-2025—better than the district (15.2%) and state (18.3%) averages. Notably, North Cumberland achieves these results while spending the least per student ($12,062) among its Cumberland County peers, outperforming higher-spending schools like Stone Elementary School, Pleasant Hill Elementary School, and Frank P. Brown Elementary School in several subjects. The school shows particularly strong outcomes for economically disadvantaged students, ranking at the 64th percentile statewide for this group. With continued focus on closing the math gaps in the upper grades, North Cumberland is well-positioned to keep climbing.
