Schools in zip code 38571 (Crossville, TN) include 3 schools serving grades PK–12 under Cumberland County Schools, a district ranked 65th out of 141 in Tennessee. The standout performer is Stone Memorial High School, which earned 4 stars and ranks in the 71st percentile statewide, while both elementary schools sit in the bottom half of Tennessee rankings.

Families in this area will find a clear divide between the high school and the elementary schools. Stone Memorial High School has a strong 93% graduation rate, above both district and state averages, and excels in Algebra II and Geometry with proficiency rates well above Tennessee averages. By contrast, Stone Elementary School is the area of concern: it ranks in the 38th percentile, has declined since 2023–2024, and lags district and state averages in every subject, despite spending the most per student ($14,042). North Cumberland Elementary School is the most improved school, jumping from the 33rd to 49th percentile in one year, and now exceeds state averages in Social Studies (52.1%) with strong year-over-year gains across all subjects.

Key takeaways for parents: middle-grade math is a common weak point — both elementary schools show large proficiency drops in grades 5, 7, and 8 compared to district averages. At the high school, Algebra I proficiency is just 25.1%, far below the state, even though upper-level math is a strength. Chronic absenteeism is below the state average at all three schools, a positive sign for engagement. Overall, North Cumberland Elementary is improving quickly, Stone Elementary needs attention, and Stone Memorial High School shows that students can succeed academically by the time they reach the upper grades.
