Summary

Cason Lane Academy is an elementary school in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, serving 869 students in grades PK-6. While part of the Murfreesboro District, which is ranked 84 out of 139 districts in the state, Cason Lane Academy consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in academic proficiency across all subjects and grade levels.

For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 36.7% of Cason Lane students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 47.8% in Murfreesboro and 42.2% statewide. The school also struggles to effectively serve certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom quartile of Tennessee elementary schools for male students, white students, students with disabilities, and economically disadvantaged students in mathematics and English language arts. Additionally, Cason Lane Academy has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11.7% to 20.2% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools, such as Overall Creek Elementary and Barfield Elementary, both in the Rutherford County District, Cason Lane Academy consistently underperforms in academic proficiency across all subjects and grade levels. The data also reveals a stark contrast between Cason Lane Academy and the nearby magnet schools, such as Discovery School and McFadden School of Excellence, which consistently rank among the top elementary schools in the state and significantly outperform Cason Lane Academy.
