Summary:

Zip code 38340 in Henderson, Tennessee is home to three schools in the Chester County Schools district, which carries a 4-star rating and ranks 16th out of 141 Tennessee districts (89th percentile). The three schools — East Chester Elementary School (grades PK–3, 526 students), Chester County Middle School (grades 4–5, 424 students), and W Chester Elementary School (grades K–3, 279 students) — all earned 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger. All three schools beat Tennessee state averages in math, ELA, and science in the 2025–2026 school year, a strong signal of overall district quality.

Each school has a distinct academic profile. Chester County Middle School is the math leader with 68.6% proficiency — more than 25 points above the state average — and also boasts the best attendance with an 11.2% chronic absenteeism rate. It achieves these results with the lowest per-student spending ($10,783), making it a high-value option. W Chester Elementary School leads the group in ELA at 61.8% proficiency, but its math (50.0%) and science (48.7%) trail both the district and its own prior-year results. East Chester Elementary School is the most balanced performer, exceeding district averages in all three subjects and posting the strongest state rank of the three at 159 out of 1,019 schools.

Some trends are worth watching. East Chester Elementary School's ELA proficiency fell sharply from 65.6% to 53.5% year over year, even as its math improved. W Chester Elementary School's state rank has dropped from 125th (2023–2024) to 230th, driven by declines in math and science rather than literacy. Chronic absenteeism is a non-issue across all three schools, with rates of 14.8%, 11.2%, and 13.3%, respectively, all below the district (17.8%) and state (18.3%) averages. Because grade spans differ — East Chester and W Chester serve PK/K–3 while Chester County Middle School serves grades 4–5 — direct test-score comparisons should be made with some caution, but the overall picture is clear: families in this area have access to a strong, above-average set of elementary schools.
