Summary

Pin Oak Elementary is a public school in Lexington, Tennessee that serves 363 students in grades PK-8. It is part of the Henderson County School District, which is ranked 36 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Pin Oak Elementary consistently outperforms the Henderson County and Tennessee state averages in mathematics proficiency, with 50% of students proficient or better in 2024-2025 compared to 45.5% for the county and 42.2% for the state. However, the school's English Language Arts performance is more mixed, with some grades above and others below the county and state averages. Pin Oak's science proficiency is also strong, with the school outperforming the county and state in most grade levels.

While Pin Oak's special education and low socioeconomic status students perform exceptionally well, the school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.2% in 2020-2021 to 20.2% in 2022-2023. This is significantly higher than the state average and could be an area of concern. Nearby schools like Decaturville Elementary and Parsons Elementary in the neighboring Decatur County district outperform Pin Oak in several subject areas, suggesting the school could learn from their practices.
