Summary

Scotts Hill Elementary School serves 398 students in grades PK–8 in the rural community of Scotts Hill, Tennessee, and is part of Henderson County Schools. The school ranks 366th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools for the 2025–2026 school year, placing it in the 64th percentile statewide — a solid, above-average showing, though the school has cooled from its earlier peak when it consistently ranked in the 79th–88th percentile range between 2017 and 2021. The district overall is ranked 53rd out of 141 Tennessee districts with a 3-star rating.

Science is clearly the school's signature subject. Scotts Hill's overall science proficiency is 58.9%, well above the district average of 50.4% and the state average of 46.9%. The result is even more striking in 8th grade, where 90.6% of students scored proficient — far ahead of every nearby same-district school, including South Haven Elementary at 58.5% and Pin Oak Elementary at 50.0%. Upper-grade math is also strong, with 8th grade math at 75% (versus 38.3% statewide) and 6th grade math at 55.6%. The school also stands out for attendance: its chronic absenteeism rate is just 7.9%, dramatically lower than the state rate of 18.3% and most nearby schools. Additionally, Scotts Hill ranks in the 79th percentile statewide for serving low-socioeconomic-status students, making it an equity bright spot in the region.

There are areas needing attention. Social studies proficiency fell sharply to 45.4% in 2025–2026, down from 78.4% just two years earlier and now below the district and state averages. The school also has some grade-level weak spots, including 4th grade math at 31.6% and 8th grade English language arts at 25%. On spending, Scotts Hill invests about $11,614 per student — moderate for the region and notably less than West Hardin Elementary, which spends $16,055 per student but scores lower. With targeted support in the lower-performing subjects and grades, this school has strong potential to return to its former heights.
