Summary

Valley View Elementary is a public elementary school in La Follette, Tennessee, serving 443 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Campbell County School District, which is ranked 130 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Valley View Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Tennessee elementary schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 817 out of 1,009 schools and a 1-star rating. The school's performance is concerning, with high chronic absenteeism rates, significantly lower test scores than the county and state averages across all subjects and grade levels, and underperformance among various student subgroups. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 16.6% of students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 32.2% in Campbell County and 42.2% statewide.

When comparing Valley View Elementary to nearby schools in the Campbell County district, it is clear that the school is underperforming. For example, Jacksboro Elementary has significantly higher test scores and a higher ranking among Tennessee elementary schools. Addressing the root causes of Valley View Elementary's poor performance, such as chronic absenteeism and low socioeconomic status, will be crucial in improving student outcomes and the overall educational quality in the district.
