Summary:
Zip code 37357 is served by a single school: Morrison Elementary School, part of Warren County Schools in rural Tennessee. The school enrolls 381 students in grades PK-8, making it a combined elementary and middle school. Morrison is currently rated 1 star and ranks in the 22nd percentile statewide (790 out of 1,019 schools), while its district also receives 1 star and ranks 116th out of 141 Tennessee districts. On the positive side, chronic absenteeism is a clear strength: only 9.5% of students are chronically absent, compared to 13.8% for the district and 18.3% statewide.
Despite the modest overall profile, several grade-level performances stand out. The strongest subject is math in 4th grade, where 53.8% of students are proficient—well above the district (45.8%) and state (49.4%), and more than double the school's own 3rd grade math rate of just 13.5%. Middle school social studies is also a bright spot: 7th grade proficiency is 62.2% (above the state's 56.0%) and 8th grade proficiency is 50.0% (above the state's 47.6%). The 8th grade math rate of 36.8% also exceeds the district by 12 points and nearly matches the state average. However, these bright spots come alongside a significant red flag in 6th grade social studies, where only 14.3% of students are proficient, creating a 36.4-point gap from the state and a dramatic swing from the 7th grade result.
Across all tested subjects, Morrison Elementary trails the Tennessee state averages, with the largest gaps in math (-13.6 points) and science (-13.4 points). Year-over-year trends are mixed: math and science dipped slightly from 2024-2025 to 2025-2026, while social studies improved sharply from 33.0% to 40.9%. The school's state rank has been unstable, moving from the 25th percentile (2023-2024), to the 31st percentile (2024-2025), and back down to the 22nd percentile (2025-2026). Per-student spending is $12,764, though no state benchmark is available for comparison. Without free/reduced-price lunch data or student-teacher ratios, it's hard to fully contextualize performance, but the data clearly show that Morrison Elementary has bright spots in specific grades and subjects, particularly 4th grade math and middle school social studies, alongside notable inconsistencies that suggest classroom and cohort effects play a major role.
