Summary

Monteagle Elementary School is a small, rural PK-8 school in Monteagle, Tennessee, serving 233 students as part of Marion County Schools. The school has been on a generally upward trajectory, rising from an 18th-percentile state ranking in 2018-19 to a 43rd-percentile ranking in 2025-26, placing it 580th out of 1,019 Tennessee schools with a 2-star rating.

Academically, Monteagle had a standout year in 2025-26. Math proficiency jumped from 30.7% to 45.0% and ELA from 32.5% to 44.2%, both now above state averages and well ahead of district proficiency rates. The middle grades are a clear strength — 7th grade posted particularly strong results across all subjects, with social studies proficiency at 71.4% versus 56% statewide. Compared with nearby schools, Monteagle clearly outperforms Swiss Memorial Elementary, Tracy Elementary, and Decherd Elementary, and edges out Jasper Elementary in math. However, Sewanee Elementary remains a clear outlier, ranking at the 93rd percentile statewide with proficiency rates 20–30 points higher in every subject.

Attendance has improved dramatically, with chronic absenteeism falling from 23.4% to 14.2% — now below the district rate of 21.8% and the state rate of 18.3%. The school also serves economically disadvantaged students exceptionally well relative to statewide peers: Low SES students rank at the 74th percentile, earning a 4-star rating. That said, male students have lagged behind female students in relative statewide effectiveness, a gap worth watching. Per-student spending sits mid-range at $12,799, making the school's results reasonably cost-effective. Overall, Monteagle appears to be a school on the upswing with genuine bright spots in its middle grades and among low-income students, though early-elementary science and 6th-grade social studies remain areas to watch.
