Centerville, Tennessee — 9 schools
Hickman County operates 9 public schools serving 3,175 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Tennessee. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 other, 2 high, 2 elementary, 2 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,619 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 20.4% local, 62.6% state, and 16.9% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $68,276 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 51/100, ranked #22 of 140 in Tennessee against a state average of 38 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment — districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Variation between sub-units within Hickman County is typically wider than the Hickman County-aggregate figure suggests.

chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason — illness, family obligations, or disengagement Variation between sub-units within Hickman County is typically wider than the Hickman County-aggregate figure suggests.
