Summary

Lewis County Intermediate School in Hohenwald, TN, serves 396 students in grades 3–5 and is part of Lewis County Schools, a district that overall ranks near the bottom of Tennessee. Despite the district's challenges, the school itself is a clear academic bright spot. For the 2025–26 school year, it earned a 3-star rating and ranked in the 66th percentile of Tennessee elementary schools, after two consecutive years in the 75th percentile with 4-star ratings. Proficiency rates in math (49.8%), English language arts (49.3%), and science (50.7%) all exceed both district and state averages — often by 10 to 15 percentage points.

One of the school's most distinctive strengths is its effectiveness with students who often face extra challenges. In 2024–25, Lewis County Intermediate School ranked 43rd out of 843 schools statewide for its results with economically disadvantaged students, earning a 5-star rating in that category. It has also posted outstanding outcomes for African American students, consistently ranking in the 90th percentile or higher in recent years. Chronic absenteeism, while trending upward, remains far better than the district's: 14.9% of students were chronically absent in 2024–25 compared to 25.3% districtwide. The school also delivers strong results efficiently, spending about $10,693 per student — notably less than nearby schools like J E Woody Elementary School, Waynesboro Elementary School, or Centerville Elementary School, which spend $14,000 or more while achieving weaker results.

The main areas to watch are special education performance, which has ranked in the 20th–30th percentile for three straight years, and a pullback in 5th-grade science, where just 41.4% of students scored proficient versus 46.5% statewide. Third-grade math also sits slightly below the state average. The contrast with the district's Volunteer State Virtual Academy Elementary School, located moments away, is striking: the virtual school posted math proficiency of only 17.2% and a chronic absenteeism rate of 24.9%. Compared to nearby schools, Lewis County clearly beats Centerville Intermediate School in ELA and math and is competitive with Summertown Elementary School, though Summertown has lower absenteeism. Overall, Lewis County Intermediate School stands out as a high-performing, cost-effective option in its region.
