Summary

Amqui Elementary School in Madison, TN, serves 626 students in pre-kindergarten through 8th grade as part of Metro Nashville Public Schools. Academically, the school has consistently ranked near the bottom of Tennessee elementary schools, most recently placing in the 9th percentile statewide with 0 stars. Only 17.4% of students are proficient in math and 16.4% in English Language Arts, compared to district rates of 32.4% and 31.8%, and state rates of 43.0% and 40.6%. Science and social studies are relative bright spots, with 21.1% and 25.4% proficiency, respectively.

Chronic absenteeism is a serious concern. More than one in four students (26.1%) missed enough school to be considered chronically absent in 2024–2025—the highest rate among nearby schools. While the trend is improving (down from 31.5% in 2022–2023), the gap with the state average of 18.3% remains wide. The contrast with Dan Mills Elementary School, located less than four miles away, is striking. Dan Mills serves a similar number of students but ranks in the 87th percentile, with 66.7% math proficiency and just 10.4% chronic absenteeism. Both schools are part of the same district, yet their outcomes are dramatically different, suggesting attendance and school-specific practices play a major role.

Amqui is one of only two PK–8 schools in the area, and the data show a sharp decline when students reach middle school. While 5th graders posted 25.6% math proficiency, 7th graders fell to 10.5%. The school does show some relative strengths: English Language Learner students rank in the 33rd percentile statewide, Hispanic students in the 27th percentile, and male students in the 18th percentile. Low-income students, however, rank in the 3rd percentile. The school spends $19,604 per student—more than Dan Mills—suggesting funding alone is not the answer. With deliberate focus on attendance and middle-school support, these outcomes are not inevitable.
