Summary

Ethridge Elementary School serves 516 students in grades PK–8 in the small community of Ethridge, Tennessee, as part of Lawrence County Schools, and has earned a 4-star rating with a statewide rank of 245th out of 1,019 schools (76th percentile).

The school consistently outperforms both district and state averages in every core subject. In the most recent school year, 57.5% of Ethridge students scored proficient in math, compared with 47.7% for the district and 43.0% for the state; in English language arts, the figures were 54.7% versus 44.4% and 40.6%. One of the most striking findings is how well the school serves students from low socioeconomic backgrounds — these students rank in the 90th percentile statewide, earning 4 stars. Chronic absenteeism is also remarkably low at 8.3%, less than half the state rate of 18.3% and well below the district's 14.5%. Among nearby schools, only New Prospect Elementary School had a comparable rate (7.6%), while Leoma Elementary School had 18.8% and Ingram Sowell Elementary School had 26.4%.

Ethridge's middle-grades performance is a distinctive strength. Eighth-grade math proficiency reached 67.6%, far above state averages of roughly 38–40%, and 8th-grade science proficiency was 50.0% versus 44.3% statewide. Compared to nearby Leoma Elementary School, which shares the same PK–8 structure, Ethridge's math proficiency is nearly 17 points higher and its ELA proficiency nearly 20 points higher. Spending does not explain these differences: Ingram Sowell Elementary School spent about $3,000 more per student yet posted much lower proficiency in every subject and more than triple Ethridge's absenteeism. Within Lawrence County Schools, Ethridge sits near the top of a wide performance range, ranking second only to Lawrenceburg Public School, a PK–5 school whose scores reflect its stronger elementary-only grade span.
