Mosheim Elementary, Mosheim TN - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Mosheim Elementary

Mosheim Elementary serves students from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade and is one of the elementary schools in the Greene County district. It is a regular public school located in the town of Mosheim, a small community in Greene County, Tennessee. The school is situated within a broader area that includes light industry, a Walmart distribution center, and other manufacturing employers, with commercial life concentrated near the Interstate 81 corridor. The town itself is low-density and auto-oriented, with a traditional center near the intersection of Main Street and the Andrew Johnson Highway.

The student body at Mosheim Elementary is predominantly white, with a small share of Hispanic students and very few students from other racial and ethnic backgrounds. A substantial share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school serves a sizable enrollment for an elementary school, with students distributed across grades pre-K through five. The school does not serve grades beyond fifth, so there is no graduation rate to report, and no course access metrics for high-school-level offerings apply here.

On the Tennessee state assessments, Mosheim Elementary’s results show a mixed picture. In math, fewer than half of students scored at the proficient or above level. On the English language arts assessment, about a third of students met that benchmark. Science proficiency was in a similar range, with over two in five students reaching the proficient mark. Social studies data is older, from the 2018-19 school year, and showed a proficiency rate in the low forties. Taken together, the school’s overall proficiency index across tested subjects was in the bottom quartile when compared with other districts in Greene County. The comparison set is small, with only two districts in the county, so the positioning reflects a narrow field. Participation on the assessments was essentially universal, which means the results capture nearly all enrolled students. The school has not been flagged for any assessment changes that would complicate comparisons from year to year.

No data was available for chronic absenteeism, so a parent may wish to ask the school about attendance patterns directly. Information on discipline, staffing, and course access was also absent, and no civil rights data was provided. The district has undergone facility consolidation and renovation efforts in recent years, which may be relevant for families considering the physical condition of school buildings and potential attendance boundary adjustments.

The housing context in Mosheim is relatively affordable compared to state and national benchmarks. Home values in the area are below the Tennessee median and well below the national median. Rents are also modest relative to incomes, though the estimated monthly mortgage payment on a typical home would be higher than the estimated rent, suggesting that renting may be more immediately affordable for some households. The town has experienced steady population growth since incorporation, and as of recent estimates the growth continues at a modest pace.

For a family considering Mosheim Elementary, the school offers a traditional elementary program in a small-town setting with a predominantly white student body. The academic results are broadly below the state average, with English language arts performance the weakest area. Parents who value strong test outcomes may want to investigate what supports the school offers for literacy and math. The school’s location in an area with manufacturing and distribution employment means many families may have ties to those industries. The surrounding community offers limited commercial amenities, with a single grocery store and a handful of restaurants and services near the interstate exit. Public library services would come from the county level, as none is located in town. The auto-dependent layout means that getting to and from school and activities requires a car.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
