Wilson Elementary

Wilson Elementary serves 183 students in Crawford, Tennessee, covering pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school earns a composite score of 9.2 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — driven by an academic score of 8.4 and a standout growth score of 9.7. That growth figure carries real weight.

Wilson ranks #1 of 7 public schools in Overton County and sits at #40 among 1,785 Tennessee public schools, outperforming 98% of the state. Those numbers signal that students here don't just score well on tests — they consistently make above-average academic progress year over year. The school runs a student-teacher ratio of 12.2 to 1, keeping classes small relative to most public schools.

With fewer than 200 students across nine grade levels, the campus stays manageable in size. Wilson covers the full PK–8 span, so families count on one school community from early childhood through middle school — no mid-way building transition before high school. For parents comparing schools in Overton County, the ranking is clear: no other public school in the county matches Wilson's performance profile.

The combination of strong academics, exceptional growth, and a low student-teacher ratio makes it the area's top-ranked public option.

With an enrollment of 183 students, Wilson Elementary is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

Located in a rural area, Wilson Elementary may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
