Summary

Martin Elementary is a public elementary school located in Martin, Tennessee, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 340 students. The school is part of the Weakley County School District, which is ranked 20 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Martin Elementary has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Tennessee elementary schools over the past several years, with a current ranking of 280 out of 1,009 schools for the 2024-2025 school year. The school generally performs above the state average in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) across all grade levels, with proficiency rates of 49% in Mathematics and 51.3% in ELA, compared to the state averages of 42.2% and 38.9%, respectively. However, the school's performance for African American and Special Education students is more average, ranking in the middle of the state.

While Martin Elementary has maintained a strong academic performance, the school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.7% in 2021-2022 to 18.9% in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the state average of 11.4%. This trend is also seen in nearby schools, such as Dresden Elementary and Sharon School, suggesting a broader issue in the region. The school's higher per-student spending compared to some nearby schools may indicate a focus on providing additional resources and support to students, but it will be important to ensure these resources are being utilized effectively to address the chronic absenteeism and achievement gaps for certain student subgroups.
