Summary:

Zip code 38017 in Collierville, Tennessee is home to six elementary schools serving grades PK/K through 5th, with a combined enrollment of roughly 4,154 students, all part of the top-ranked Collierville Schools district — the #1 district in Tennessee with a 5-star rating. Every school in this area ranks in the top 10% of the state's 1,019 elementary schools, making this one of the highest-performing zones in Tennessee. The six schools average about 79% proficiency in math, 76% in English language arts, and 74% in science, far exceeding state averages.

Among the schools, Crosswind Elementary School is the clear standout, ranking #8 in the state with the highest math (89.5%), ELA (87.4%), and science (86.2%) proficiency in the group, while spending a relatively modest $13,881 per student. Bailey Station Elementary School is the model of consistency, holding steady around #30 for three straight years while spending the least here at $13,451 per student. Sycamore Elementary School stands out for the wrong reasons: it spends the most by far ($18,295 per student) yet posts the lowest proficiency rates and has slipped from #66 to #100 over three years. Schilling Farms, Collierville, and Tara Oaks are all strong 93rd–95th percentile schools, but Tara Oaks has been sliding from #16 to #71 despite solid scores.

The biggest watch items are the declining rankings at Tara Oaks (with notably weak 3rd-grade science at 52.8%) and Sycamore, along with a broad dip in science proficiency across the area — four of six schools trail the district's science average. On a positive note, Collierville Elementary has been improving, moving from #77 to #64, and most schools posted gains in math and reading. Chronic absenteeism is low everywhere, ranging from roughly 5% to 10%, far below the state's 18.3% rate. For parents, this zip code offers excellent options overall, with Crosswind the top academic choice and Bailey Station the best value — while Sycamore's high spending and lower outcomes warrant a closer look.
