Summary

Centertown Elementary School in McMinnville, TN, serves 566 students in grades PK–8 and is part of Warren County Schools. Despite its district ranking in the bottom 20% of Tennessee districts (18th percentile, 1 star), Centertown itself ranks 386th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary/middle schools — the 62nd percentile, earning a 3-star rating for 2025–2026. This makes Centertown the highest-performing school among all nearby Warren County elementary schools, and one of the only schools in the region to post achievement above the state average in multiple subjects.

Centertown outperforms its district in every core subject and beats the state average in three of four. Average proficiency across math, ELA, science, and social studies is about 48%, compared to 45.5% statewide and 37.7% for the district. It is also the only nearby school with an all-subject composite above the Tennessee state average. Among nearby schools, Eastside Elementary ranks 475th (53rd percentile), while Irving College Elementary ranks 586th (42nd percentile); other nearby schools fall mostly in the 1–2 star range. Notably, Bobby Ray Memorial (43.2%) and Hickory Creek (38.8%) both outperform Centertown in math (35.9%), so math remains an area of focus despite the school's overall strength.

Centertown has some standout grade-level results, including 3rd-grade ELA at 59.6% proficiency, 7th-grade science at 64.3%, and 6th-grade social studies at 65.6%. However, 6th-grade math (21.3%) and 8th-grade science (30.2%) are well below state averages. Chronic absenteeism is very low at 7.9%, less than half the state rate of 18.3%, and far better than nearby Deerfield Elementary (24.5%) and West Elementary (15.9%). The school also spends the least per student ($11,147) among nearby schools — which range from about $12,230 to $15,328 — while producing the best academic outcomes in the group.
