Summary

Bean Station Elementary is a public elementary school in Bean Station, Tennessee, serving 421 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Grainger County School District.

While Bean Station Elementary has shown some strengths, such as the performance of male and special education students exceeding state averages, the school's overall academic performance is a concern. Its proficiency rates in Mathematics (39.3%) and English Language Arts (42.1%) lag behind the state averages of 42.2% and 38.9%, respectively. The school's Mathematics performance is particularly low across all grade levels. Additionally, Bean Station Elementary struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.8% to 24.1%, which are significantly higher than the state and district averages.

Comparing Bean Station Elementary to nearby schools provides valuable context. Rutledge Elementary School and Rutledge Primary, also in the Grainger County School District, have generally outperformed Bean Station Elementary on state assessments. However, these schools also face high chronic absenteeism rates. In contrast, schools in the neighboring Hamblen County School District, such as Lincoln Heights Elementary, Russellville Elementary, and Manley Elementary, have demonstrated stronger academic performance across multiple subjects and grade levels.
