State report card

Tennessee gives every public school an A-F letter grade. The Department of Education says the grades are meant “to provide a snapshot of how each school performed during the previous academic year,” on its school letter grades page. For an elementary school the grade combines achievement, growth and growth of the highest-need students, each scored 1 to 5, from state tests in grades 3 to 5 (grades 3 and 4 in Maury County, where fifth grade is in middle school).

Battle Creek Elementary earned a C for 2024-25, the latest grades published, with an overall score of 3.2 out of 5 in the state’s letter grade file.
