Summary

Cornersville Elementary School is a K–6 elementary school in Cornersville, Tennessee, serving 470 students as part of Marshall County Schools. The school currently ranks 444th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools, placing it in the 56th percentile with a 3-star rating. That marks a noticeable decline from recent years: the school ranked 306th (70th percentile, 4 stars) in 2023–2024 and 369th (63rd percentile, 3 stars) in 2024–2025. While solidly mid-range overall, the school has some clear bright spots and a few areas that deserve attention.

Academically, Cornersville outperforms its district average in math, English language arts, and science, but lags considerably in social studies — just 33.3% proficient versus 49.5% for the district and 51.4% statewide. Grade-level results also show unevenness: 5th-grade math is a standout at 55.1% proficiency, while 5th-grade ELA drops to 30.4% and 6th-grade math falls to 35.2%. When compared to nearby schools, Cornersville sits in the middle. It outperforms Marshall Elementary, which ranks 615th, but trails Chapel Hill Elementary, the same-district standout ranked 264th with 4 stars, and Unity School in Lincoln County, ranked 208th. Both Chapel Hill and Unity outperform Cornersville across most subjects while spending similar or slightly less per student.

Attendance is a major strength: only 10.7% of students were chronically absent in 2024–2025, well below the state rate of 18.3%. The school spends $12,615 per student, a moderate figure that compares favorably to higher-spending schools like J. Brown Elementary ($18,717) and Highland Park Elementary ($17,798), both of which rank far lower. However, recent subgroup data raises some concerns: female students rank in the 71st percentile, while male students rank in the 52nd, and students from low-income families saw a sharp drop from the 65th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 28th percentile in 2025–2026. Overall, Cornersville is a dependable mid-tier school with strong attendance and competitive performance in several subjects, but its social studies gap and recent declines are worth watching.
