Summary:
ZIP code 37091 (Lewisburg, TN) contains five public schools—all part of Marshall County Schools—serving grades PK-12 across five campuses with 2,685 total students. The feeder pattern runs from Oak Grove Elementary School (PK-1) to Marshall Elementary School (2-3), Westhills Elementary School (4-6), Lewisburg Middle School (7-8), and Marshall County High School (9-12), meaning students change campuses multiple times during key transition years. The district ranks 60th out of 141 Tennessee districts (57th percentile, 3 stars).
Several schools stand out for different reasons. Oak Grove Elementary School has the lowest chronic absenteeism in the area at 10.7% and the highest per-student spending at $15,027. Lewisburg Middle School is a math acceleration standout—its Algebra I proficiency reached 76.9% compared to 26.6% district and 29.4% state—though grade-level math remains below state averages. Marshall County High School excels with advanced students (88.9% proficiency in Algebra II and 89.3% in Geometry) but struggles at grade level, with only 17.5% of 9th-graders proficient in Algebra I. Marshall Elementary School showed the most consistent improvement, rising in math, ELA, and science year-over-year. Westhills Elementary School is a science bright spot at 47.4% proficiency, above the state's 46.9%.
The most persistent weakness across every school with test data is English Language Arts, with all schools trailing state averages. Per-student spending declines sharply as grade levels rise, from $15,027 at Oak Grove to $10,267 at the high school. Chronic absenteeism is lowest in early grades and rises in older grades. Notably, the three ranked schools in the ZIP code sit at the 38th–43rd percentiles (2 stars each), below the district's overall 57th-percentile ranking, suggesting stronger schools exist elsewhere in the district. Missing data on free/reduced-price lunch and student-teacher ratios limits deeper socioeconomic analysis.
