Summary

Charlotte Elementary School is a PK–5 public school in Charlotte, Tennessee, serving 601 students within Dickson County Schools. The school currently ranks 399th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools, placing it in the 61st percentile with a 3-star rating — a solidly mid-tier position that represents a modest step back from its recent peak in 2023–2024, when it ranked 272nd.

Academically, Charlotte's clearest strength is English Language Arts, with 50% of students proficient in 2025–2026 — well above the district (43.8%) and state (40.6%) averages. Math proficiency (43.5%) is essentially even with the state but slightly below the district average, while science (49.5%) exceeds the state but trails the district by nearly 4 points. The most noticeable pattern is a grade-level slide: the school performs well in 3rd and 4th grades, but by 5th grade, math proficiency drops to 35.6% — nearly 13 points below the district average — and ELA falls from 57.4% to 39.1%. Notably, Charlotte achieves particularly strong results for economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 73rd–80th percentile statewide for this subgroup over the past two years.

Charlotte's chronic absenteeism rate improved dramatically, falling from 20.7% to 14.5% in one year, though it still trails nearby schools like Stuart Burns Elementary (8.8%), Vanleer Elementary (8.8%), and Montgomery Central Elementary (6.9%). The school spends $13,344 per student — less than lower-performing schools like Dickson Elementary ($16,716) and Oakmont Elementary ($15,474), but more than Montgomery Central Elementary, which spends nearly the same and ranks much higher. Within Dickson County, Charlotte outranks Vanleer, White Bluff, Oakmont, and Dickson Elementary, but sits behind The Discovery School, Centennial Elementary, and Stuart Burns Elementary. With its strong ELA foundation and improving attendance, Charlotte has clear potential to climb back toward the upper ranks if it can stabilize 5th-grade math and science.
