Summary:
In zip code 37091 (Lewisburg, Tennessee), there are two elementary schools serving the Marshall County Schools district: Oak Grove Elementary School for grades PK-1 and Marshall Elementary School for grades 2-3. Together they enroll about 888 students, with Oak Grove slightly larger at 488. The district itself ranks 60th out of 141 Tennessee districts (3-star rating), placing it just above the statewide median.
Attendance is a clear strength across both campuses. Oak Grove has a chronic absenteeism rate of 10.7%, and Marshall is at 13.2%—both well below the district average of 15.3% and the state average of 18.3%. Oak Grove also invests more per student at $15,027 versus Marshall’s $13,002. However, Oak Grove has no current academic ratings since it serves only PK-1, leaving Marshall as the only school in the zip code with TNReady test data. Marshall’s most recent state rank places it at the 40th percentile with a 2-star rating, below the district’s overall 3-star profile—suggesting other schools in the district lift the average. The biggest academic concern is science: only 36.2% of Marshall 3rd graders scored proficient, compared to 50.7% districtwide and 46.9% statewide. On a positive note, Marshall improved in every subject year-over-year, including a +4.5 point gain in ELA and +3.0 point gains in both math and science.
The unusual grade split means students move buildings after 1st grade, and Oak Grove’s early-learning program feeds directly into Marshall’s tested grades. While the lack of free/reduced lunch data and student-teacher ratios limits deeper analysis, the attendance figures and per-student spending suggest a generally healthy school environment. For parents, the key takeaway is that the area offers strong early childhood attendance and investment, but the only measured academic performance—at Marshall—shows a school that is improving yet still trails district and state benchmarks, especially in science.
