Summary:
Zip code 38571 is served by a single high school, Stone Memorial High School, a public school in Crossville, Tennessee, serving grades 9 through 12 with roughly 992 students as part of Cumberland County Schools. Since there is no other high school in the area, these insights focus on how Stone Memorial compares to its district and state benchmarks.
Stone Memorial has earned a 4-star rating in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, up from 3 stars in 2023–2024, and its state rank improved from 165th (58th percentile) to 115th (71st percentile) over that period. Its graduation rate of 93.0% exceeds the district rate of 92.6% and the state rate of 90.5%. However, chronic absenteeism at 16.6% is higher than the district’s 15.2% though still below the state’s 18.3%. In math, the school shows striking contrasts: Algebra II proficiency jumped from 33.6% to 48.3%, far above the district (37.1%) and state (37.3%), and Geometry rose to 44.4%, also beating both the district (37.9%) and state (42.3%). Grade-level results reinforce this strength—11th grade Algebra II proficiency (38.3%) and 11th grade Geometry proficiency (54.5%) are dramatically higher than district and state averages. Biology I proficiency (47.8%) exceeds the district (45.4%) but trails the state (49.8%), while English II proficiency (55.2%) sits above the district (53.5%) but below the state (58.1%).
The most concerning trend is Algebra I, where proficiency fell sharply from 35.2% to 25.1%—a 10-point drop while the state average rose to 32.3%. This may reflect a cohort effect or a shift in course-taking patterns, but it is an area to watch. Per-student spending is $11,262, though no local comparison is available. Overall, Stone Memorial is a solid performer that has improved its ranking significantly, with standout upper-level math results and a strong graduation rate. The main challenges are the Algebra I decline and chronic absenteeism that sits above the district rate. For parents in 38571, the school offers a single, increasingly competitive option for high school education.
