Summary

Jack T Farrar Elementary School in Tullahoma, TN, serves 337 students in grades PK–5 and is part of the Tullahoma City Schools district, which overall ranks in the bottom quarter of Tennessee districts. Farrar currently holds a 2-star rating and sits in the 41st percentile of Tennessee elementary schools—an improvement from recent years, though it reached the 55th percentile as recently as 2023–2024.

One of Farrar’s clearest strengths is attendance: its chronic absenteeism rate of 9.1% is far below the district (16.3%) and state (18.3%) averages, and among Tullahoma elementary schools only Robert E Lee Elementary School does better. Science is another bright spot, with Farrar posting 45.8% proficiency in 2025–2026, nearly matching the state average and consistently outperforming its district. However, the school’s math and English Language Arts scores trail state averages, and there’s an unusual gender gap: female students ranked in the 22nd percentile statewide while male students ranked in the 51st. Nearby schools show that stronger results are achievable—North Lake Elementary School in Franklin County and Westwood Elementary School in Manchester both outperform Farrar in most subjects.

Farrar’s academic performance is inconsistent. ELA scores are strong in 3rd grade (45% proficient) but drop sharply by 4th and 5th grades; math is a concern in 3rd grade but reaches state average in 4th. Students from low-income families and those in special education have also seen extreme year-to-year swings in proficiency. Despite the school’s excellent attendance, that advantage hasn’t translated into consistently strong academics—likely pointing to curriculum and instruction rather than engagement as the next area for improvement. Farrar is not a failing school, but it has yet to turn its assets into steady, upper-half results.
