Summary

David Crockett Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Lawrenceburg, TN, serving 462 students within Lawrence County Schools. Once a solid mid-tier school, it has slipped steadily over the past several years: after ranking in the 77th percentile statewide in 2018–19, it now sits at the 39th percentile (618th out of 1,019 elementary schools) with a 2-star rating. The most recent year was especially harsh, as the school dropped from the 50th to the 39th percentile between 2024–25 and 2025–26.

Academically, the biggest red flag is science proficiency, which fell to just 33.9% in 2025–26 — well below the district’s 46.8% and the state’s 46.9%. Fourth-grade science is particularly weak at 28.6% proficient. The school also shows a troubling grade-level pattern: 3rd grade ELA is strong (58.3% proficient, above both district and state), but by 5th grade, only 27.3% of students are proficient in ELA, compared to 41.6% district and 42.7% state. Math follows a similar decline. Subgroup rankings have eroded across the board, including a dramatic drop for special education students from the 70th percentile to the 10th in a single year.

The most striking comparison is to Lawrenceburg Public School, just 3.76 miles away, which serves a similar student body but ranks 185th statewide (82nd percentile, 4 stars). David Crockett trails by roughly 17–27 percentage points in math, ELA, and science. Chronic absenteeism is below district and state averages (13.9% vs. 14.5% and 18.3%), and per-pupil spending is in line with higher-performing nearby schools, which suggests the issue is school-level effectiveness rather than resources or attendance. Without intervention, the current downward trend may continue.
