While the district ranks in the 35th percentile of Tennessee districts, Ramer Elementary achieves a 47th percentile rank statewide for the 2025-2026 school year, indicating the school performs somewhat better than its district overall.
Ramer's academic profile shows mathematics as its strongest subject, with 47% all-grades proficiency, outperforming both district (39.6%) and state (43%) averages. Particularly notable is 5th grade, where math proficiency reaches 67.9%, more than 20 points above district and state benchmarks. English Language Arts improved by 5.6 points year-over-year, reaching 40% proficiency. However, 6th grade is a critical concern, with proficiency across all subjects falling dramatically below state averages - especially in social studies at 18.8%, nearly 32 points below the state. Seventh grade serves as a counterpoint, with strong results across all subjects. Chronic absenteeism at 14% is lower than the district (16.8%) and state (18.3%), and per-student spending is $14,656.
The school's most pressing challenge is social studies, where overall proficiency of 42.9% trails the district by 10 points and the state by 8.5 points. The pronounced 6th-grade slump across all subjects suggests that transition may warrant targeted intervention, while the 7th-grade success demonstrates the school's capacity for strong outcomes. Ramer's statewide rank has been volatile, rising from the 41st percentile in 2023-2024 to 59th in 2024-2025, then settling to 47th for 2025-2026, reflecting the uneven but promising performance profile. Overall, Ramer Elementary is a school with clear strengths in math, improving reading scores, and solid attendance, alongside identifiable opportunities for growth in social studies and support for 6th-grade students.
