Summary

Robert E Lee Elementary School in Tullahoma, TN, serves 484 students in grades K–5 and has earned a 4-star rating, ranking 275th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools (73rd percentile). This makes it a clear academic standout within the Tullahoma City Schools district, which ranks in the bottom quarter of Tennessee districts (104th out of 141, 1-star). Despite the district's overall struggles, Robert E Lee exceeds state averages in math (54.1% vs. 43.0%), English language arts (49.8% vs. 40.6%), and science (56.3% vs. 46.9%). The school also has an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 6.5%—less than half the district rate of 16.3% and the state rate of 18.3%.

The gap between Robert E Lee and its same-district peers is dramatic. In math, 54.1% of its students are proficient, compared to 35.6% at Bel Aire Elementary School, 40.3% at Jack T Farrar Elementary School, and 30.2% at East Lincoln Elementary School. Robert E Lee also outperforms all three in ELA and science. It even matches or exceeds strong schools from neighboring districts, with science proficiency (56.3%) that tops College Street Elementary School (47.8%) and Westwood Elementary School (45.6%) in Manchester City Schools, as well as North Lake Elementary School (51.9%). All of this is achieved while spending about $14,328 per student—roughly the same as other Tullahoma schools that perform far worse.

There are a few areas parents may want to watch. Special education performance has been volatile, falling from the 75th percentile statewide in 2023–2024 to the 17th percentile in 2025–2026. Low-income students have also seen big swings, from the 66th percentile to 16th and back up to 47th. In addition, 5th grade scores dip below 3rd and 4th grade in every subject, suggesting an opportunity to strengthen upper-elementary supports. Science proficiency jumped from 38.5% to 56.3% in a single year—a dramatic gain worth monitoring. Overall, Robert E Lee is one of the region's strongest elementary schools, with high achievement, strong attendance, and efficient spending. If it can stabilize subgroup performance, it has potential to rank among Tennessee's best.
