Summary

Beaver Elementary School is a small, rural PK-8 school in Wildersville, Tennessee, serving 296 students as part of Henderson County Schools. In 2025-2026, the school ranked 667th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools (35th percentile), placing it behind every comparable same-district peer — including Pin Oak Elementary (74th percentile), Scotts Hill Elementary (64th percentile), and Bargerton Elementary (48th percentile).

The school's biggest academic challenge is English Language Arts, where just 29.1% of students are proficient — the lowest among county peers and well below the state average of 40.6%. Math is also a concern overall (38.3% proficient), but there's a silver lining: by 7th and 8th grade, math proficiency exceeds state averages, suggesting strong middle-school math instruction. Social studies is a clear bright spot, with 55% proficient, above both district and state averages. This marks a dramatic turnaround from just a few years ago (29.7% in 2022-2023) and shows the school is capable of rapid improvement.

On the positive side, chronic absenteeism is low at 11.1%, well below the state's 18.3%, and the school spends a relatively high $12,813 per student. However, that spending doesn't translate into test scores — nearby Huntingdon Primary School posts much higher math and ELA proficiency with similar resources. With its strong social studies growth and solid middle-school math, the school has demonstrated it can improve; replicating that success in reading and early-grade math will be key to reversing its current downward trend.

Had a child go there 8 years. Great teachers about every other year. About half of the teacher are very professional and the other half needs to up there game ! Great school system and it's headed in the right direction. Just needs to weed out the slackers ( BAD/ LAZY TEACHERS )!!!!!! Close Quote
