Summary

Bobby Ray Memorial School is an elementary school in McMinnville, Tennessee, serving 520 students in grades PK–5 as part of Warren County Schools. While the district as a whole ranks in the bottom fifth of Tennessee school districts, the school has been moving in the right direction: its state ranking climbed from the 20th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 36th percentile in 2025–2026, its best result in five years. The school still sits below the statewide median, but the upward trend is clear.

Math is the standout subject at Bobby Ray Memorial School. In 2025–2026, 43.2% of students scored proficient in math, matching the state average and topping every nearby Warren County elementary school, including Hickory Creek School (38.8%), Eastside Elementary School (38.2%), and Centertown Elementary School (35.9%). That follows a dramatic three-year climb from 24.1% proficiency in 2022–2023. English language arts (37.4%) is above the district average of 33.8% but below the state's 40.6%, and it trails local schools like Centertown Elementary School (44.8%) and Eastside Elementary School (41.0%). Science is the clearest weakness, with only 33.0% proficient — well below the district (39.3%) and state (46.9%) averages. Notably, West Elementary School, less than a mile away, spends more per student yet scores lower in every core subject.

Grade-level results also tell an important story. Fourth grade is a bright spot, with math proficiency at 57.3% — well above the state — while 3rd grade shows real cause for concern, with just 24.0% of students proficient in ELA and 22.7% in science. On a positive note, chronic absenteeism has dropped from 22.7% in 2022–2023 to 14.5% in 2024–2025, now below the state average of 18.3%. The school also shows encouraging gains for historically underserved groups, including students from low-income families and students receiving special education services. For families, the picture is one of genuine momentum — but the next step is carrying those math gains into reading and science, especially in the early grades.
