Summary

Summertown Elementary School is a PK-5 public school in Summertown, TN, serving 621 students and part of Lawrence County Schools. The school ranks 263rd out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools (74th percentile, 4 stars), placing it firmly in the upper quartile of schools statewide. In 2025–2026, Summertown outperformed both its district and the state in all three core subjects: math (60.4% proficient vs. 43.0% statewide), English language arts (52.7% vs. 40.6%), and science (49.6% vs. 46.9%). Over the past decade, the school has earned 4-star ratings in most years, with its best recent performance in 2023–2024 when it ranked 155th statewide.

Math is Summertown's standout subject, and the 5th-grade math proficiency rate of 62.2% is 17.4 percentage points above the district and 14.8 points above the state. The school also posts exceptional attendance numbers: its chronic absenteeism rate of 8.4% is less than half the state average of 18.3% and well below the district rate of 14.5%. Perhaps most notably, Summertown has ranked in the top 6% of Tennessee schools for serving economically disadvantaged students in consecutive years, placing 32nd and 54th statewide in 2023–2024 and 2024–2025, respectively. This points to a strong school culture that supports students effectively regardless of background.

Within Lawrence County, Summertown ranks 3rd among elementary schools, trailing Lawrenceburg Public School and Ethridge Elementary School, but sitting well ahead of David Crockett Elementary School and Ingram Sowell Elementary School. What makes Summertown distinctive is its efficiency: it spends about $11,887 per student while delivering far stronger results than Ingram Sowell, which spends nearly $16,000 per student and achieves roughly 25% math proficiency. Areas worth monitoring include a recent dip in special education subgroup rankings and 3rd-grade ELA and science scores that trail the district. Overall, Summertown combines strong academics, excellent attendance, and relatively high equity, making it a compelling option for families in the area.
