Summary

Munford Elementary is a public elementary school located in Munford, Tennessee, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 821 students. The school is part of the Tipton County School District, which is ranked 83 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Munford Elementary has consistently performed above the Tipton County and Tennessee state averages in proficiency rates for TNReady Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science assessments across all grade levels, with proficiency rates ranging from 40-55% in Mathematics, 35-50% in English Language Arts, and 45-60% in Science. The school's strong performance in Science, with proficiency rates often exceeding 50%, is particularly noteworthy. Additionally, Munford Elementary has shown exceptional performance for its African American and Hispanic student populations, ranking in the top 100 schools in Tennessee for these subgroups in recent years.
