South Central Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Washington County school district, located in Chuckey, TN with about 229 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families.
