Summary:
ZIP code 38230, serving the Greenfield, Tennessee area, is home to a single school: Greenfield School, an alternative school within Weakley County Schools that serves grades PK through 12 and enrolls 454 students. Because it is the only school in this ZIP code, Greenfield School automatically stands out — but it also stands out on its own merits. Its district ranks 18th out of 141 districts in Tennessee, placing it in the 87th percentile with a 4-star rating.
Greenfield School outperforms both its district and the state on several key non-test metrics. Its graduation rate is 91.2%, above the district's 90.2% and the state's 90.5%, while its dropout rate of 2.9% is less than half the Tennessee average of 6.7%. Chronic absenteeism is also notably lower at 11.4% compared to the state's 18.3%. Academically, the school beats the state average in 9 of 11 tested subject areas and exceeds the district in 8 of 11. The most impressive results appear in the elementary and middle grades: 75.9% proficiency in 4th grade math, 72.4% in 3rd grade ELA, 77.4% in 6th grade science, and 83.9% in 6th grade social studies — all well above statewide figures.
High school coursework is more mixed. Geometry (61.0%) and Algebra I (45.5%) are strong relative to the state, but US History (36.8%) and Biology I (46.5%) fall below Tennessee averages. Year-over-year changes include large gains in Algebra I, Geometry, and Social Studies, offset by double-digit declines in Algebra II and English II — changes that may reflect different student cohorts rather than school quality. The school spends $13,334 per student, though free/reduced lunch eligibility and student-teacher ratio data were not reported. Overall, Greenfield School is the only educational option in ZIP code 38230, and on the available evidence it performs strongly in most subjects while keeping students engaged and on track to graduate.
