Summary

Northside Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Savannah, Tennessee, serving 483 students as part of Hardin County Schools. In a district that ranks near the bottom statewide (118th of 141), Northside is the clear academic leader, ranking at the 49th percentile statewide — essentially the median. It beats every other Hardin County elementary school by a wide margin: Pickwick Southside sits at the 35th percentile, East Hardin at 33rd, West Hardin at 30th, and Parris South at 23rd.

Northside's strongest subject is English language arts, with 45.1% of students proficient versus 40.6% statewide. Science is solid overall and excellent in 3rd grade, where 60% of students are proficient versus 44.3% statewide. Math is the persistent weakness: 36.5% proficiency versus 43.0% statewide. Fifth grade stands out as a trouble spot — science proficiency falls from 60% in 3rd grade to just 36.6% by 5th grade. Female students perform well above the school's overall average, while male students lag. Low-income students have improved significantly, moving from the 28th to the 43rd percentile in two years, while special education students have also gained ground.

Chronic absenteeism has climbed from 13.0% to 16.9% in one year, nearly erasing the school's former attendance advantage. Northside spends $13,592 per student — less than most nearby schools, including West Hardin ($16,055) and Pickwick Southside ($15,912) — yet gets better results, a sign of efficient resource use. Across the county line, Michie Elementary in McNairy County Schools is the region's strongest option, outperforming Northside in every subject, while Adamsville Elementary, also part of that district, ranks similarly overall. Bottom line: Northside is a solid, mid-range school that leads its district and offers families in Savannah a meaningfully stronger option than other local elementary schools, with math and 5th grade as clear focus areas.
