Better than 16% of Tennessee elementary schools

Summary

Mooresburg Elementary School is a small K–5 school in Mooresburg, Tennessee, serving 192 students and operating within Hawkins County Schools. The school has been on a clear downward trajectory, falling from the 50th percentile statewide in 2021–22 to just the 16th percentile in 2025–26, ranking 851st out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools. That places Mooresburg below every school in its nearby comparison group, including St Clair Elementary, which has climbed to the 68th percentile, and Russellville Elementary, now at the 77th percentile.

The most urgent concern for parents is English language arts. Only 19.5% of Mooresburg students are proficient in ELA, compared to 37.0% districtwide and 40.6% statewide, and the gap widens in upper grades—4th grade ELA proficiency is 16.7% and 5th grade is just 17.1%. Every nearby school posts significantly higher reading scores, with even struggling schools like Fairview Marguerite School and Hillcrest Elementary reaching roughly 35% proficiency—nearly double Mooresburg’s rate. Math (33.3%) and science (27.6%) are also below district and state averages, with 5th grade science at just 14.3% versus 46.5% statewide, while nearby Whitesburg Elementary posts 71% in that same subject.

Despite the low overall numbers, there are a few bright spots. Mooresburg spends $16,442 per student—the second-highest among nearby schools—and its special education students ranked at the 81st percentile statewide in 2024–25, a major improvement from the 21st percentile two years earlier. Chronic absenteeism also improved dramatically, from 29.1% in 2023–24 to 18.1% in 2024–25, now essentially in line with the state average. Because the school is small, a single classroom can shift results sharply from year to year, but the persistent reading struggles across grades 3–5 make literacy the clear priority for families considering this school.
