Summary

Michie Elementary School serves 342 students in grades PK-8 in rural Michie, Tennessee, and has earned a 4-star rating — ranking 289th of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools at the 72nd percentile. That makes it the top-performing school in its area by a wide margin. While McNairy County Schools as a district carries a 2-star rating at the 35th percentile, Michie exceeds both district and state averages in all four tested subjects. Nearby Bethel Springs Elementary School — a comparable PK-8 McNairy school with similar enrollment and spending — ranks at just the 18th percentile, roughly 20 points lower in every subject.

Subject-level results are consistently strong. Michie posts 49.5% proficiency in math (state: 43.0%), 50.5% in ELA (state: 40.6%), 50.9% in science (state: 46.9%), and an eye-catching 70.0% in social studies (state: 51.4%). That social studies figure dwarfs nearby schools: Adamsville Elementary School posts 56.8%, while Pickwick Southside School, just 5.2 miles away in Hardin County Schools, posts just 29.1%. Michie is also especially effective with students from low-income families, ranking in the 88th–91st percentile statewide for that subgroup over the past three years.

Attendance and momentum round out the picture. Michie's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.7% is below the district's 16.8% and the state's 18.3%. Meanwhile, its per-student spending of $14,048 is mid-range, suggesting its success stems from school-level practices rather than funding — West Hardin Elementary School spends $16,055 yet ranks at the 30th percentile. Fifth grade is a clear highlight, with 72.5% math proficiency versus the state's 47.4%, while 3rd grade is the area that lags most. Still, the trajectory is positive: math proficiency has climbed from 35.0% to 49.5% over three years, and the school's ranking has risen from the 62nd to 72nd percentile.
