Summary:
ZIP code 38050, covering the Maury City, Tennessee area, is served by one public school—Maury City Elementary School—which enrolls 211 students in grades PK through 5 and is part of Crockett County Schools.
Maury City Elementary is a standout school that has climbed from the 59th percentile to the 82nd percentile in statewide rankings over just two years, earning a 4-star rating. The school’s greatest strength is mathematics: 68.7% of all students are proficient, compared to 43.0% statewide and 45.9% in its district. Fourth graders posted an exceptional 82.1% math proficiency rate. The school also outperforms district and state averages in overall English Language Arts (54.2% vs. 40.6% state) and science (59.0% vs. 46.9% state). Chronic absenteeism sits at 11.7%, well below Tennessee’s average of 18.3%, though slightly above the district’s 9.8%.
The main concern is a noticeable dip in 5th grade, where ELA proficiency drops to 34.5% (below the state’s 42.7%) and science falls to 41.4% (below the state’s 46.5%). This suggests a need for targeted support in upper elementary literacy and science. Still, the school improved dramatically in all three subjects from the prior year, and with per-pupil spending of $13,510, it is well-resourced. Maury City Elementary clearly leads its district in academic performance and appears to be a school on the rise—an asset for families in this area.
