Summary

White Oak Elementary is a public elementary school located in Duff, Tennessee, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 128 students. The school is part of the Campbell County School District, which is ranked 130 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

White Oak Elementary faces significant challenges in terms of student achievement. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.4% to 31.1% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Caryville Elementary (18.9%) and Jacksboro Elementary (18.9%). Additionally, the school's test scores are generally lower than the state and county averages across all subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates in Mathematics (37.3%), English Language Arts (45.8%), and Science (28.8%) all falling below the state averages in 2024-2025.

Over the past decade, White Oak Elementary's statewide ranking has steadily declined, from 782 out of 853 Tennessee elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 612 out of 1,009 in 2024-2025. This suggests that the school is struggling to keep pace with other elementary schools in the state. While White Oak Elementary's performance is generally lower than the state and county averages, some nearby schools, such as Jacksboro Elementary and Wynn Habersham Elementary, have shown stronger academic results, indicating that factors beyond just district-level resources may be contributing to the differences in school performance.
