Summary

North Lake Elementary School, located in Tullahoma, Tennessee, is a small PK–5 school with 257 students that is part of Franklin County Schools. While the district overall ranks in the bottom quarter of Tennessee, North Lake consistently performs above the state median, placing in the 60th percentile (3 stars) for the 2025–2026 school year.

Academically, North Lake beats both its district and the state in every subject, with standout math (48.1% proficient) and science (51.9%) scores. Its English Language Arts scores, while above state averages, are the relative weak spot. A striking pattern is the jump from 3rd grade (math at 24.3%) to 4th grade (math and science at 65.6%), suggesting a particularly strong 4th-grade program. Compared to nearby elementary schools, only Broadview Elementary and Robert E Lee Elementary rank higher, and North Lake outperforms four of the five Tullahoma City elementary schools, including Bel Aire Elementary and East Lincoln Elementary.

The school also serves economically disadvantaged students very well, with those students ranking near the 80th percentile statewide. Chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically—from 30.6% in 2022–2023 to 14.0% in 2024–2025, now better than the district and state averages. With a low student–teacher ratio (14.2) and per-pupil spending of $13,957, North Lake is a solid, improving option for families seeking a small school with strong math and science outcomes, even within a lower-ranked district.
