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,” according to its school letter grades page. The grade combines four indicators, each scored from 1 to 5: student achievement, academic growth, growth of the highest-need students and, for high schools only, college and career readiness.
Sunset Elementary earned an A for 2024-25, the latest grades published, with an overall score of 4.9 out of 5 in the state’s letter grade file.
