ZIP code 38237 encompasses Martin, Tennessee, and is served by four schools within the Weakley County Schools district, a 4-star district ranked 18th out of 141 Tennessee districts. The four schools — Westview High School, Martin Middle School, Martin Elementary School, and Martin Primary School — enroll 1,880 students total, spanning pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.

Martin Elementary School posts the strongest academic profile in the ZIP code, with 57.7% ELA proficiency versus 40.6% statewide and the lowest chronic absenteeism at 9.3%. Westview High School shines in Biology I (64.3% proficient) and English II (75.0%), but struggles significantly in Algebra I (18.9%) and U.S. History (19.0% — a 23-point deficit from the state). Martin Middle School excels in science (54.3% proficient) and 8th grade math (50.8%), while Martin Primary School, serving PK–2, has no test scores but reports a healthy 10.1% chronic absenteeism rate. All three ranked schools hold 4-star ratings, though Westview High earned 3 stars most recently.

Science is the most consistent strength across grade levels, with every school above state averages. Chronic absenteeism runs well below the 18.3% state rate at every school in the ZIP code. However, rankings slipped for all three ranked schools from the prior year, and spending increases with grade level ($11,154 at Martin Primary up to $11,814 at Westview High) without a clear corresponding boost in outcomes.
