Munford Elementary, Munford TN - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Munford Elementary

Munford Elementary serves students from Pre-K through fifth grade in Tipton County, part of the countywide school district. The school is located in Munford, a growing suburban community roughly 25 miles north of Memphis, where the city provides its own utilities including water, sewer, solid waste, and natural gas. The town has an identifiable downtown area along Munford Avenue and an extensive park system with walking trails, tennis courts, playgrounds, and a skate park; annual events like the Munford Arts and Crafts Fair and a Fourth of July celebration draw residents to City Park. The population has grown steadily over recent decades, with low housing vacancy rates suggesting ongoing demand. The built environment is a mix of suburban subdivisions and rural areas, and many residents likely commute to Memphis for work. The schools are integrated into the community fabric rather than isolated on a separate campus.

On state assessments given through the TNReady program, Munford Elementary's results show a mixed picture. In math, roughly two out of five students scored at the proficient level or above. In English language arts, the share was similar. Science fared a bit better, with about half of students reaching proficiency. Social studies data is available only from an older testing year, and it showed a proficiency rate comparable to math and ELA. State testing participation was very high, meaning the results reflect nearly the entire tested student population. These are modest attainment figures; a parent may want to discuss with the school how it supports students toward grade-level mastery and what interventions are in place for those below the bar.

The school's enrollment is large for a PK-5 building. The student body is predominantly white, with a notable share of Black and Hispanic students and a smaller share of multiracial students. Data on the share of students eligible for free or reduced-price meals, as well as counts of students with disabilities and English learners, was not available for this profile, so it is not possible to describe the school's economic or special-education demographics from the provided information. Similarly, no information was found about disciplinary rates, staffing ratios, or program offerings such as gifted or intervention services. The district-level picture likewise had little publicly reported detail that could be confirmed, so that context is not included here rather than guessed.

Munford Elementary operates as a regular public school within Tipton County Schools. Because it covers only early and elementary grades, there is no graduation rate to report. The school sits in a community that is still adding housing and residents, and the district spans a mix of eight elementary, five middle, and four high schools across the county, so Munford Elementary feeds into Munford Middle School and ultimately Munford High School. For families considering this school, the key known facts are the town's suburban growth context, the school's large enrollment, and the academic achievement levels that are around the midpoint in terms of proficiency, with science standing somewhat higher than math and reading. The gaps in available data on student support programs and demographics mean that a thorough picture would require a conversation with the school or a visit to see what resources and environment are actually in place.

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.
