Summary:
Ramer Elementary School in zip code 38367 is the only elementary school serving this rural Tennessee area, offering a PK–8 grade span with 355 students as part of McNairy County Schools. Because it is the sole school in the zip code, this analysis focuses entirely on Ramer Elementary School, a school that combines elementary and middle grades under one roof.
The school’s biggest academic strength is mathematics, with an overall proficiency of 47% in 2025–2026—4 points above the state average and more than 7 points above the district average. Performance is especially strong in 5th grade math, where 67.9% of students are proficient versus the state’s 47.4%, and 7th graders also shine in ELA (50% vs. 35.9% statewide), science (53.1% vs. 47.8%), and social studies (65.6% vs. 56%). Chronic absenteeism is also a positive: at 14.0%, it is lower than both the district (16.8%) and state (18.3%), suggesting good attendance and engagement.
However, the school has notable weak spots. The 6th grade cohort struggles significantly—only 18.8% are proficient in social studies versus 50.7% statewide, and only 25% in ELA versus 39.8% statewide. Overall social studies remains the school’s biggest challenge, with a 42.9% proficiency rate that is 8.5 points below the state average. Statewide ranking has been volatile: the school rose to the 59th percentile in 2024–2025, then slipped to the 47th percentile in 2025–2026, reflecting uneven performance across grade levels. Per-student spending is $14,656, but without district or state comparisons, its efficiency is unclear. For parents, Ramer Elementary offers strong math instruction and a solid 7th grade cohort, but 6th grade and social studies are clear areas needing attention.
