Monteagle Elementary faces several challenges, including consistently low test scores across all subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates in Math (30.7%), ELA (32.5%), and Science (37.8%) falling below the state averages. The school's performance is particularly weak in 3rd grade Math (17.4% proficient vs. 43.3% state average) and 5th grade ELA (15% proficient vs. 40.7% state average). However, Monteagle Elementary does perform better than the county in some areas, such as 6th grade Math (52.6% vs. 34.1% county) and 6th grade ELA (52.6% vs. 36.3% county).

Additionally, Monteagle Elementary has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.9% to 24.8% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average of around 15%.

Nearby schools, such as Sewanee Elementary and North Elementary, significantly outperform Monteagle Elementary across multiple metrics, raising questions about the factors contributing to the performance gap.
