Summary

Trousdale County Elementary School in Hartsville, TN, serves 683 students in grades PK–5 and sits within the highly rated Trousdale County Schools district, which earns a 5-star rating and ranks 12th in Tennessee. The school itself holds a 3-star rating and ranks in the 68th percentile statewide for 2025-2026—solidly above average, though below the district's top-tier reputation. Historically, the school performed even better, ranking in the mid-80s percentile before the pandemic, and has since settled into the 68th–70th percentile range.

A clear strength is English language arts: 51.7% of students are proficient, outpacing both the district (47.9%) and state (40.6%). That’s the highest ELA score among nearby elementary schools, including Bethpage Elementary School (46%) and Tuckers Crossroads Elementary School (49.3%). Trousdale also posts notably strong outcomes for African American students (74th percentile) and special education students (74th percentile). The school spends the least per student in the region at $11,448, yet still achieves above-state proficiency—evidence of cost efficiency.

However, notable challenges remain. The biggest red flag is a dramatic drop in 5th grade: scores fall from the low 60s in 4th grade to below state averages in math (40.7%), ELA (38.9%), and science (37%). That science score is the lowest among nearby schools with data. Chronic absenteeism is also the highest among comparable schools at 14.3%, and rising, while math and science proficiency trail the district. Female students (59th percentile) and low-income students (44th percentile) show weaker outcomes, suggesting targeted support is needed. Ultimately, Trousdale is a solid, efficient school with literacy strengths and strong outcomes for certain subgroups, but it must address upper-grade transitions, attendance, and achievement gaps to fully match its district's excellence.

What people are saying

by a parent
Saturday, October 29, 2022

To say we are embarrassed and humiliated to be apart of this run down school is an understatement. The kindergarteners are more intelligent, thought provoking, and ethically correct than the majority of the entire staff. We are ashamed to go here and certainly don’t trust any of the staff to do what’s best for our kids. Huge embarrassment! Close Quote
