Summary

Erin Elementary School is a PK–5 public school in Erin, TN, serving 410 students in Houston County Schools. The school has made notable recent progress, jumping from the 16th to the 33rd percentile in statewide rankings between the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 school years. While Erin still trails state averages in all three tested subjects, it now outperforms its own district in math and reading. Chronic absenteeism has also improved dramatically, falling from 27.7% in 2022-2023 to 18.7% in 2024-2025, which now sits right at the state average of 18.3%.

Erin's test scores rose sharply in a single year — math proficiency jumped from 24.1% to 39.4% and ELA from 25.3% to 37.1% — allowing the school to overtake nearby Tennessee Ridge Elementary School in both subjects. However, a striking grade-level pattern emerges: 3rd graders meet or beat state averages in math and ELA, but 4th-grade scores collapse, with ELA falling nearly 25 points below the state average. Science is also a clear weak spot at 30.9% proficiency — the lowest among nearby schools, including Tennessee Ridge (31.8%), McEwen Elementary School (43.5%), and Montgomery Central Elementary School (69.9%). Even with per-student spending of $11,886 — among the lowest in the comparison group — Erin produced the largest year-over-year gains of its neighbors.

Looking at student subgroups, Erin's African American students rank above the statewide median for their group (61st percentile), while White students (17th percentile) and low-income students (28th percentile) lag behind. Special education outcomes are the most serious concern, ranking in the 2nd percentile statewide after being at the very bottom the prior year. The 4th-grade slump and the science gap are the two areas most likely to determine whether the school's recent momentum can be sustained. Families should feel encouraged by the upward trajectory but also aware of the uneven results across grade levels and student groups.
