Summary:
The 38260 zip code area is home to two schools - Obion County Central High School and Hillcrest Elementary, both of which serve the Obion County school district. While the high school maintains a relatively strong performance, with a 3-star rating and ranking in the top third of Tennessee high schools, the elementary school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years.

In contrast, Hillcrest Elementary has seen its ranking drop from 299th in 2023-2024 to 384th in 2024-2025, despite outperforming the district and state in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science. Both schools have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, which could be an area of concern.
Overall, the schools in the 38260 zip code area present a mixed picture, with Obion County Central High School performing well above average, while Hillcrest Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking. The data suggests that the schools in this area may be subject to broader educational trends or specific factors within the Obion County district, warranting further investigation and attention to address areas of concern, such as chronic absenteeism.
