SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,019 Tennessee Elementary Schools

Better than 19% of Tennessee elementary schools

Summary

East Lincoln Elementary School is a PK-5 school in Tullahoma, TN, serving 506 students as part of Tullahoma City Schools. In 2025-2026, the school ranked 826th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools, placing it in the 19th percentile with a 1-star rating. Proficiency rates were 30.2% in math, 25.9% in English language arts, and 32.6% in science — all well below both district and state averages.

Among the four Tullahoma elementary schools, East Lincoln ranks last by a wide margin. Robert E Lee Elementary outperforms East Lincoln by roughly 24 percentage points in every subject — for example, 54.1% vs. 30.2% in math. Bel Aire Elementary and Jack T Farrar Elementary also post higher proficiency rates, and all four schools share the same district funding. ELA is the lowest-performing subject, with 3rd grade reading at just 20.3% proficiency compared to 44.9% statewide. Chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically from 27.3% to 15.7%, but remains about 9 points higher than Robert E Lee's 6.5%.

There are some bright spots. Science proficiency rose from 24.4% to 32.6% over two years, and attendance is improving — signs of better engagement. Subgroup results are also uneven: African American students and low-income students perform closer to statewide averages, while White students and special education students rank in the bottom 10% statewide. Despite the challenges, the school has made modest progress from its 3rd-percentile ranking a decade ago, but remains stuck in the bottom quintile. For parents, the key takeaway is that East Lincoln is improving in important areas, but reading proficiency and early-grade literacy remain the most urgent priorities.
