Summary

Henry Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Henry, Tennessee, with an enrollment of 352 students. The school is part of the Henry County School District, which is ranked 49 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Henry Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and spends more per student than the state average, the school's academic performance, as measured by TNReady test scores, is generally below the county and state averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 42.1% of students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 53.3% for the Henry County district and 42.2% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low in English Language Arts, with only 25.4% of students proficient or better, compared to 43% for the county and 38.9% for the state.

Interestingly, the nearby Dorothy and Noble Harrelson School and Lakewood Elementary, which are also part of the Henry County School District, generally outperform Henry Elementary in academic achievement, with higher test scores and better rankings. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Lakewood Elementary had 57.6% of students proficient or better in Mathematics. However, Henry Elementary's special education students perform relatively well, ranking 302 out of 618 TN elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year, suggesting the school may be providing effective support and resources for this population.
