Summary

Leoma Elementary School is a PK–8 school in rural Lawrence County, Tennessee, serving 538 students and earning 3 stars with a 61st-percentile state ranking for 2025–2026. That marks a meaningful comeback: after dipping to 2-star ratings in 2022–2023 and 2023–2024, the school has climbed steadily and now ranks 398th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools, though it remains below its 4-star peak from 2017–2018.

The most striking bright spot is the school's work with economically disadvantaged students. In 2025–2026, Leoma's low-socioeconomic-status students ranked in the 96th percentile statewide (5 stars)—a dramatic jump from the 36th percentile just a year earlier. Early elementary grades are also strong, with 3rd and 4th graders outperforming both district and state averages in math. However, this momentum fades sharply in upper grades: 5th grade math proficiency drops to just 25%, and by 7th and 8th grade, both math and ELA proficiency sit at roughly half the state average. This grade-level cliff is arguably the school's biggest academic challenge.

Attendance stands out as an actionable concern. Leoma's chronic absenteeism rate of 18.8% is well above the district rate of 14.5% and far exceeds nearby schools like New Prospect Elementary (7.6%), Ethridge Elementary (8.3%), and Summertown Elementary (8.4%). Within Lawrence County Schools, Leoma trails several neighbors, including Lawrenceburg Public School (82nd percentile), South Lawrence Elementary (80th percentile), and Ethridge (76th percentile). The school's upward trend is real—all-grades math proficiency improved from 27.1% to 40.6% since 2022–2023—but every core subject still trails district and state averages, making attendance and upper-grade support the key levers for continued improvement.
