Summary

Adamsville Elementary School serves 710 students in grades PK-8 in Adamsville, Tennessee, and is part of McNairy County Schools. The school currently ranks in the 48th percentile statewide with a 2-star rating, a decline from its 61st-percentile ranking the previous year.

Parents should know that Adamsville has several clear strengths. The 8th-grade cohort is exceptional, scoring well above state averages in math (59.1% vs. 38.3%), science (59.8% vs. 44.3%), and social studies (69.6% vs. 47.6%). Chronic absenteeism is just 11.2% — the lowest among all nearby elementary schools and well below the state rate of 18.3%. Social studies proficiency has exceeded the district and state for four straight years, and English language arts scores have steadily improved from 36.4% proficiency in 2022-2023 to 41.7% in 2025-2026, now slightly above the state average.

The main area of concern is math, particularly in grades 5 and 6, where proficiency rates of 23.2% and 31.5% lag significantly behind state averages. By contrast, 8th-grade math is a standout at 59.1%. Adamsville also spends the least per student of any nearby school at $11,501, yet outperforms several schools that spend thousands more, such as West Hardin Elementary, which spends $16,055 per student but trails Adamsville in math, ELA, and science. Students receiving special education services and those from low-income families have shown notable improvement in recent years. While Adamsville's overall ranking has slipped, its strong attendance, efficient use of resources, and standout middle school results give parents plenty of reasons for optimism.
