Best Public Schools in Sewanee, TN

Summary:

The city of Sewanee, Tennessee is home to a single standout elementary school, Sewanee Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and has a total enrollment of 179 students. This school has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in Tennessee, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and boasting exceptional academic performance that far exceeds the state and Franklin County district averages.

Sewanee Elementary's proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science are significantly higher than the state's, with 74.7% of students proficient or better in ELA and Science, and 69.2% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 37.6%, 44%, and 39.7%, respectively. This academic excellence is likely driven by the school's low student-teacher ratio of 12.7 to 1 and relatively affluent student population, with only a small percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

While Sewanee Elementary's student body is predominantly White (92.74%), the school's consistent top ranking and exceptional performance suggest it is providing a high-quality education to its community. However, the lack of diversity in the student population could be an area for further investigation and potential improvement. Overall, Sewanee Elementary stands out as a shining example of academic excellence in the region, offering families in the area access to a top-tier elementary school education.
