Summary

Mc Ewen Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Mc Ewen, Tennessee, serving 460 students in the Humphreys County Schools district, a small-town community in rural Middle Tennessee. The school currently ranks in the 32nd percentile statewide (688th of 1,019 schools), which places it below state academic averages—but the full picture is more nuanced than that single ranking.

The most defining pattern is a sharp academic cliff between 3rd and 4th grade. Mc Ewen's 3rd graders actually beat state averages in both math (52.7% vs. 42.6%) and ELA (51.9% vs. 44.9%). But by 4th grade, math proficiency falls to 21.4% (state: 49.4%) and 5th grade math sits at 22.7% (state: 47.4%). Science is the school's most balanced subject, with 43.5% proficiency versus the state's 46.9%. Nearby Waverly Elementary School, just 8.5 miles away, serves only PK–3 and ranks 195th statewide with 64.3% math proficiency, which highlights how the upper-elementary transition is a challenge for Mc Ewen. Attendance is a clear strength: only 14.7% of students are chronically absent, below the state's 18.3% and better than Erin Elementary School (18.7%) and Tennessee Ridge Elementary School (18.0%).

Mc Ewen's economically disadvantaged students perform relatively well, ranking in the 71st percentile statewide in 2024–2025, and the school's ELA scores have topped its district average for four straight years. It also outpaces Lakeview Elementary School in ELA (32.1% vs. 30.8%). Yet the school spends the least of any nearby school—$11,563 per student—compared with $13,673 at Waverly and $16,716 at Dickson Elementary School. While Mc Ewen has declined from its 79th-percentile rank in 2017–2018, its strong early-elementary results, solid attendance, and competitive science scores provide a foundation. The clear priority is targeted help for 4th and 5th graders in math and reading.
