Summary:

ZIP code 38075, serving the Whiteville area, contains just one public school: Whiteville Elementary School, a PK–8 campus within Hardeman County Schools with 217 students. Because it is the only school in the ZIP code, families have no public school choice within the immediate area, making this campus the sole educational provider for local students through 8th grade.

Whiteville Elementary is ranked 974th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools for the 2025–2026 school year, placing it in the bottom 4% statewide. Its three-year trend shows a slight decline, moving from the 6th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 4th percentile in each of the last two years. Academic proficiency is critically low across every subject: just 12.6% of students are proficient in English Language Arts and 10.2% in Science, compared to state averages of 40.6% and 46.9%, respectively. Mathematics and Social Studies scores are even more concerning, with 7th and 8th grade Social Studies at 6.3% proficiency and 6th grade Math at just 5.6%. A clear pattern emerges in upper grades—3rd grade ELA proficiency is 24%, but by 6th and 7th grade it drops to 5.6% and 6.3%, indicating that academic challenges compound as students advance through this PK–8 school.

Chronic absenteeism is a major issue, with 24.4% of students missing significant school time, higher than both the district (21.5%) and state (18.3%) rates. Despite spending $14,910 per student—a substantial amount—outcomes remain near the bottom of Tennessee. The relative bright spots include 4th grade Science at 29.2% proficiency and 3rd grade ELA at 24%, but these still fall far below state norms. Free/reduced lunch data and student-teacher ratios were not reported, limiting insight into poverty levels and class sizes. For parents considering this area, Whiteville Elementary faces severe academic challenges, particularly in middle grades, with high absenteeism and persistently low test scores that warrant careful consideration and a need for significant intervention.
