Summary

Lynchburg Elementary School is a PK-6 elementary school in Lynchburg, TN, serving 482 students in Moore County Schools. The school has historically been a solid mid-tier performer in Tennessee, but in the most recent school year (2025-2026), it slipped to the 39th percentile statewide — its lowest ranking since 2017-2018 and a sharp drop from its 69th percentile peak just two years ago. One clear standout strength: chronic absenteeism is just 8.7%, less than half the state average of 18.3%, and among the best in the area — only Broadview Elementary School (6.0%) and Robert E Lee Elementary School (6.5%) do better.

Academically, the school has lost ground across the board. Math proficiency fell from 44.3% to 35.7%, now below the state average (43%), and science dropped from 56.5% to 41%, also trailing the state. ELA sits exactly at the state average (40.6%). The most glaring weakness is social studies: at just 34.2% proficiency, Lynchburg is nearly 17 points behind the state and 18 points behind its own district. Compared to nearby schools, Lynchburg is mid-pack in math and 4th out of 10 in ELA — trailing Broadview Elementary School, Robert E Lee Elementary School, and North Lake Elementary School, which also have the lowest absenteeism in the area.

One factor that may drag down overall numbers: Lynchburg is the only nearby elementary school serving 6th grade, and 6th-grade scores run below 3rd-5th grade results. Spending per student ($13,743) is in line with higher-performing peers, so resources are not the issue. The decline is broad-based, affecting nearly every subgroup, but the school has shown it can perform well — low-income students ranked in the 88th percentile as recently as 2023-2024, and boys have consistently outperformed girls. This points to a school with strong attendance and a history of success now facing a serious but perhaps temporary challenge that leadership will need to address, especially in social studies and middle-grade math and science.
