Summary

Marvin Wright Elementary School serves 613 students in pre-kindergarten through 4th grade in Spring Hill, Tennessee, as part of Maury County Schools. The school is a solidly above-average performer within Tennessee, ranking in the 70th percentile statewide (308th out of 1,019 elementary schools) with a 3-star rating in 2025-2026 after several 4-star years. On 2025-2026 TNReady assessments, Marvin Wright significantly outpaced both its district and the state: math proficiency reached 53.6% versus 38.1% for the district and 43.0% statewide, ELA reached 53.6% versus 35.1% for the district, and science reached 49.4% versus 39.2% for the district.

One of the school's standout characteristics is attendance. Chronic absenteeism was just 8.1% in 2024-2025 — less than half the district rate of 17.8% and the state rate of 18.3%. The school also operates efficiently, spending $11,899 per student, which is lower than nearby R Howell Elementary School ($13,793) and Spring Hill Elementary School ($15,298) — yet results far surpass R Howell, where proficiency sits near 22%. The school also shows notable success with historically underserved student groups: African American students ranked in the 93rd percentile statewide in 2024-2025, and Hispanic students reached the 81st percentile in 2025-2026.

The school does face challenges. Fourth-grade math and science proficiency (50.9% and 51.7%) are barely above state averages, and 4th grade math trails Spring Hill Elementary School significantly (50.9% vs. 73.6%). Special education students ranked in the 7th percentile statewide in 2024-2025, and low-income students declined sharply from the 80th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 24th percentile in 2025-2026. Marvin Wright also sits near the boundary with Williamson County Schools, where nearby Bethesda Elementary School ranks in the 96th percentile and Longview Elementary School in the 93rd — a stark contrast. Meanwhile, nearby Maury County peers Spring Hill Elementary School and Battle Creek Elementary School have improved at a faster rate, recently moving ahead of Marvin Wright in statewide rankings.
