Summary

Munford Elementary School is a large public school in Munford, Tennessee, serving 864 students in grades PK–5 as part of Tipton County Schools. The school is a standout within its district, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 71st percentile of Tennessee elementary schools for 2025–2026. Academically, Munford outperforms both the district and state averages in math (55.7% proficient vs. 48.9% district and 43% state), English language arts (49.5% vs. 39.6% district and 40.6% state), and science (52.2% vs. 50.4% district and 46.9% state).

One of Munford's most distinctive strengths is its strong results across historically underserved student groups, where it ranks in the 84th–95th percentiles statewide — a sign that achievement is not limited to one segment of the student body. The school also keeps chronic absenteeism low at 12.7%, well below the state rate of 18.3%, and has improved steadily since the pandemic era. Munford achieves these results while spending $10,660 per student — notably less than nearby Barret's Chapel Elementary/Middle School ($22,552) and Lucy Elementary ($17,647), which post far lower proficiency rates. Among its peers, only Atoka Elementary ranks higher in the area, though Munford outpaces Brighton Elementary, Charger Academy, and Covington Elementary by wide margins.

The clearest area for improvement is 5th grade, where proficiency dips noticeably in math (46%), ELA (38.7%), and science (46.7%) — below state averages. By contrast, 3rd and 4th graders perform well above state levels. Munford's overall ranking has also rebounded from a recent dip, climbing back to the 71st percentile in 2025–2026. With efficient spending, improving attendance, and strong results across a diverse student body, Munford is well-positioned to reach the top quartile of Tennessee elementary schools if it can strengthen its upper-elementary support.
