Summary

Fifth Consolidated School is an elementary school in Dyersburg, TN, serving 537 students in grades PK through 5 as part of Dyer County Schools. The school is a consistently strong performer, ranking 162nd out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools in 2025-2026 — putting it in the 84th percentile with a 4-star rating. Academic proficiency is well above both the state and district averages across all three tested subjects: 60.5% in math, 59.3% in English Language Arts, and 61.3% in science, compared to state averages of 43.0%, 40.6%, and 46.9% respectively.

One of the school's standout strengths is ELA, where it leads all Dyer County elementary schools — outpacing Holice Powell Elementary School by 7 percentage points. The school is also exceptional at supporting students from low socioeconomic backgrounds: low-SES students rank in the 95th percentile statewide, which is even higher than the school's overall ranking. Attendance is another quiet advantage, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 7.0% in 2024-2025, far better than the state's 18.3%. Fifth Consolidated also achieves strong results efficiently, spending $13,529 per student — less than most nearby schools, including Spring Hill Elementary School at $17,733 and Friendship Elementary School at $16,527. Compared to nearby Dyersburg Intermediate School, which serves a similar grade band just 3.4 miles away, Fifth Consolidated outperforms it by 15 to 27 percentage points across subjects.

The one clear area for improvement is 5th grade math, where proficiency drops to 45.2% — below both the district (48.4%) and state (47.4%). This is a sharp decline from 4th grade math at 72.8% and appears to be a transition-year challenge worth investigating. Overall, the school's trajectory is strongly positive. After a dip to the 77th percentile in 2023-2024, all core subjects have rebounded, and special education students have improved from the 53rd to the 71st percentile in two years. With sustained high performance — never falling below the 77th percentile in available data — Fifth Consolidated is a high-performing, cost-efficient school with a clear identity in literacy and a genuine commitment to supporting all learners.
