Summary:
The 38034 zip code area is home to two elementary schools - Maury City Elementary and Friendship Elementary. Based on the available data, Maury City Elementary appears to be the stronger-performing school, ranking 413 out of 1,008 Tennessee elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, while Friendship Elementary ranks 743 and has a 1-star rating.
Maury City Elementary boasts strong math performance, with 55.9% of students proficient or better, compared to 48% for the Crockett County district and 39.7% statewide. However, its ELA and science scores are more average. In contrast, Friendship Elementary struggles academically across all subjects, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages.
The significant difference in statewide rankings between the two schools highlights the disparity in performance, despite both being located in the same zip code area. Additionally, the higher spending per student at Friendship Elementary ($12,168 vs. $9,829 at Maury City) does not seem to translate into better academic results, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be at play. The racial demographics of the two schools also differ, with Maury City having a higher percentage of White students and Friendship having a more diverse student population, which could be an area for further exploration.
