Public Grades

Summary

Jonesborough Elementary is a public elementary school serving 485 students in grades PK-4 in Jonesborough, Tennessee, which is part of the Washington County School District. While the district is ranked 40 out of 140 in the state and has a 4-star rating, Jonesborough Elementary faces several key challenges.

Notably, the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (84.12%) compared to the surrounding schools, which have more diverse student populations. Academically, Jonesborough Elementary's performance, as measured by TNReady test scores, lags behind the state and Johnson City district averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (37.9%) and English Language Arts (39.1%) were lower than the state (38.1% and 36.6%) and district (45.4% and 46%) averages. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from a high of 271 out of 853 Tennessee elementary schools in 2013-2014 to a low of 732 out of 983 in 2020-2021.

Jonesborough Elementary's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as white students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students, who rank in the bottom quartile of Tennessee elementary schools. When compared to other local elementary schools, such as Sulphur Springs Elementary and Boones Creek Elementary, Jonesborough Elementary's performance is notably lower across multiple academic measures.
