Summary

North Stewart Elementary School is a rural PK–5 school in Big Rock, Tennessee, serving 464 students in Stewart County Schools. The school has climbed to a 3-star rating and now ranks 456th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools (55th percentile), a solid improvement from last year's 45th-percentile ranking. Most recently, 44.3% of students scored proficient in math, 45.8% in ELA, and 47.8% in science — all slightly above state averages. Per-pupil spending is about $12,535, and the student-teacher ratio is roughly 16:1.

One of the most encouraging trends is the dramatic drop in chronic absenteeism, from 34% in 2021–2022 down to 13.8% in 2024–2025, which is now below both the district average of 14.3% and the state average of 18.3%. North Stewart also stands out for its efficiency: it outperforms several larger, higher-spending Clarksville-Montgomery County Schools like Kenwood Elementary School, Ringgold Elementary School, and Minglewood Elementary School in both math and reading, despite spending less per student. The school also serves economically disadvantaged students relatively well, historically landing in the 54th–73rd percentile statewide for that group.

The biggest concern is 3rd grade performance. Only 37.1% of 3rd graders are proficient in ELA and 33.9% in science, both well below state averages, while 4th and 5th grades are more competitive. North Stewart also trails its same-district neighbor Dover Elementary School, which ranks 240th statewide and beats North Stewart in every subject. That said, the school is doing more with less than many nearby schools and has clear momentum. With continued focus on early reading and science foundations and the recent attendance gains, North Stewart looks positioned to keep climbing.
