Summary

Sharon School is a small PK-8 school in Sharon, Tennessee, serving 190 students as part of Weakley County Schools. The school earned a 4-star rating and ranked 119th out of 1,019 Tennessee schools (88th percentile) for 2025–2026 — the highest among nearby comparison schools. Yet that ranking masks considerable volatility: Sharon ranked 44th (5 stars) in 2024–2025 but fell to 687th (2 stars) in 2023–2024. Nearby, Rutherford Elementary School and Dresden Elementary School have remained far more consistent over the same period.

Academically, Sharon's greatest strengths appear in the early grades. In 2025–2026, third graders scored dramatically above district and state averages: 78.6% proficient in math, 92.3% in ELA, and 92.9% in science. Science is a schoolwide strong suit at 65.6% proficiency — the highest among nearby PK-8 schools including Rutherford Elementary School (56.8%), Dyer Elementary School (52.3%), and Ridgemont Elementary School (47.8%). The school also has an impressive equity story: economically disadvantaged students have historically ranked at the 96th–100th percentile statewide in multiple years. High spending ($22,342 per student, roughly double Martin Elementary School or McKenzie Elementary School) and very small class sizes (about 8 students per teacher) appear to support these early-grade results.

However, parents should weigh two significant concerns. Chronic absenteeism reached 27% in 2024–2025 — more than double the district rate of 11.7% and far above every neighboring school, including Ridgemont Elementary School (16.2%) and Rutherford Elementary School (6.9%). And while third-grade scores are exceptional, eighth-grade results drop sharply: ELA proficiency falls to just 15.8%, less than half the state average of 32.3%, and math, science, and social studies all trail district averages. Social studies is a schoolwide weak spot at 50%, the lowest among nearby PK-8 peers. In short, Sharon School offers a well-resourced, small-town environment with outstanding early-elementary teaching and strong results for disadvantaged students — but the middle-grade literacy decline and persistent attendance challenges are important factors for families to consider.
