Summary

Gibbs Elementary is a high-performing public elementary school in Corryton, Tennessee, serving 951 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Knox County school district, which is ranked 77 out of 139 districts in the state.

Gibbs Elementary consistently ranks in the top 25% of Tennessee elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science are significantly higher than the Knox County and Tennessee state averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Gibbs Elementary had 56.6% proficiency in Mathematics, compared to 43.2% for Knox County and 42.2% for the state.

While Gibbs Elementary outperforms most nearby schools in the Knox County district, including Spring Hill Elementary, Fountain City Elementary, and East Knox Elementary, the school's higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average suggest areas for improvement in student engagement and attendance. Additionally, the school's relatively weaker performance for Hispanic students and students with special needs indicates a need for targeted interventions and support.
