Summary:
Zip code 38258 contains just one elementary school, West Carroll Elementary School, which serves grades 3–6 in Trezevant, TN, as part of the West Carroll Special School District. This small school of 222 students ranks 611th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools (40th percentile, 2 stars) for 2025–2026, which is notably higher than its district’s low statewide rank of 120 out of 141 (15th percentile, 1 star). In fact, West Carroll Elementary outperforms its district in English Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies, making it a relative bright spot in an area where the district overall struggles.
Academically, math is the clearest concern. Schoolwide math proficiency is 31.5%, more than 11 points below the state average of 43.0%, with especially weak performance in 4th and 5th grades—only about 28–30% of students are proficient, roughly 20 points behind the state. English Language Arts is a relative strength at 37.1%, only 3.5 points below the state, though 3rd grade ELA lags badly (29.1% vs. 44.9%). The most encouraging pattern is in science: while 3rd graders start 15 points behind the state, the school pulls even by 5th grade and actually beats the state in 6th grade science (52.6% vs. 48.0%). Social Studies is also competitive, finishing just 0.5 points below the state overall.
Chronic absenteeism is a clear positive—only 11.2% of students are chronically absent, well below the district’s 12.8% and the state’s 18.3%. However, year-over-year results are mixed: the school improved in ELA (+1.0 point) but dropped significantly in Science (-7.0) and Social Studies (-4.5) from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026. Per-pupil spending is $12,594. No student-teacher ratio or free/reduced lunch data are available, so a full equity analysis isn’t possible. Overall, West Carroll Elementary is a mid-range school with strong attendance, pockets of excellence in upper-grade science, and a clear need for targeted math intervention in 4th and 5th grades.
