Summary

Chapel Hill Elementary School is a K–3 school in Chapel Hill, Tennessee, serving 563 students as part of Marshall County Schools. The district ranks in the middle of the pack statewide, but the school is a clear standout, earning a 4-star rating and ranking 264th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools in the most recent school year — the 74th percentile. That's a steady climb from the mid-400s just two years earlier, and two consecutive years at this level suggest the improvement is real. Because the school serves only grades K–3, test scores essentially reflect third-grade performance.

Chapel Hill outperforms both its district and the state in every tested subject. In math, 50.4% of students are proficient, compared to 44.6% for the district and 43.0% for the state. In English Language Arts, 51.9% are proficient — an impressive 16 points above the district and more than 11 points above the state. Science proficiency is 51.9%, also above both benchmarks. Math has improved dramatically, jumping from 33.1% to 50.4% in just two years. Chronic absenteeism is another strength at 9.8%, roughly half the statewide rate of 18.3%. Low absenteeism like this often goes hand-in-hand with academic gains.

Within Marshall County Schools, Chapel Hill is the strongest recent performer, substantially outpacing Marshall Elementary School in ELA and science. It posts similar overall results to nearby Battle Creek Elementary School and Marvin Wright Elementary School, while dramatically outperforming R Howell Elementary School. The school doesn't reach the heights of elite Williamson County Schools like College Grove Elementary School or Bethesda Elementary School, but it compares favorably with most regional peers. Spending of $12,102 per student is lower than many nearby schools, yet test scores still come in above state averages. One caution flag: the ranking for students from low-socioeconomic-status backgrounds dropped sharply from the 76th to the 29th percentile. Families will want to watch how the school supports these students moving forward.
