Summary

Luttrell Elementary is a public elementary school in Luttrell, Tennessee, serving 311 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Union County School District, which is ranked 124 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Luttrell Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Tennessee elementary schools, with proficiency rates in core subjects like Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science significantly below the state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were 19.3%, 29.7%, and 27.6%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 42.2%, 38.9%, and 46.1%. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.6% to 20.2% in recent years, which are much higher than the state average.

While Luttrell Elementary has relatively high spending per student, ranging from $11,580 to $17,234 in recent years, this has not translated into improved academic outcomes. In fact, nearby schools like Sharps Chapel Elementary, Big Ridge Elementary, and Paulette Elementary School generally perform better academically, with higher proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism. Addressing the challenges at Luttrell Elementary will require a comprehensive approach that goes beyond just increasing funding.
