Summary

La Grange Moscow Elementary School is a small, rural public school in Moscow, Tennessee, serving 196 students in grades PK-5 as part of Fayette County Schools, a district ranked near the bottom of Tennessee (139th out of 141). The school itself ranks 925th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools, placing it in the 9th percentile. But this wasn't always the case—during the 2023-2024 school year, La Grange Moscow reached the 21st percentile, earned 1 star, and beat its district's proficiency in ELA, math, and science. Since then, scores have dropped sharply.

Current proficiency rates are far below state averages. In 2025-2026, only 13.4% of students were proficient in ELA (vs. 40.6% statewide) and 14.9% in science (vs. 46.9% statewide). Math proficiency was 10.3% in 2024-2025, compared to 42.2% statewide. A particular red flag is early literacy: just 5.3% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA in 2025-2026. The bright spot is 5th grade ELA, where 33.3% of students were proficient—well above the district's 20.2%. Chronic absenteeism has also worsened, jumping from 9.7% in 2023-2024 to 21.3% in 2024-2025, a trend that tracks with the academic decline.

Nearby schools show that far better outcomes are possible in similar settings. Grand Junction Elementary, a similar-size rural school about 10 miles away, ranks in the 37th percentile and posts proficiency rates of 38.4% in ELA and 31.9% in math. And the Collierville Schools district, ranked 1st in Tennessee, has elementary schools with proficiency rates in the 65–90% range and chronic absenteeism around 7–9%. With per-student spending at $13,701—comparable to several Collierville schools—funding doesn't fully explain the gap. La Grange Moscow's own 2023-2024 performance shows this school is capable of much better.
