Summary:
The 38554 zip code in Crawford, Tennessee is served by a single school: Wilson Elementary School, a PK–8 campus with 185 students in the Overton County Schools district. Because it is the only school in the area, Wilson functions as both the elementary and middle school for local children, serving grades Pre-K through 8th.
Wilson holds a state ranking of 392 out of 1,019 schools (62nd percentile, 3 stars), outpacing its district's 40th-percentile ranking. The school's biggest challenge is English Language Arts: just 29.2% of students are proficient, which is 11.4 points below the state and 6.5 points below the district. Science is a genuine strength at 50% proficiency, above both district and state averages. Math is essentially at the state average (42.7% vs. 43.0%), and well above the district's 37.2%.
However, the data reveals a steep drop-off in middle grades. Third and fourth graders post strong scores—4th grade math hits 62.5%—but by 6th grade proficiency falls to 20%, and by 8th grade only 9.1% are proficient in ELA. Chronic absenteeism is a concern at 20.3%, higher than district and state levels, and per-student spending is a hefty $16,325. The school's state percentile ranking has also been volatile, ranging from 62nd to 70th over the past three years. Overall, Wilson outperforms its district and shines in earlier grades and science, but families should watch middle-grade literacy and attendance trends closely.
