Summary:
The city of Apison, Tennessee is home to two schools: Apison Elementary School and East Hamilton Middle School, both serving students in the Hamilton County school district.
Based on the available data, Apison Elementary School stands out as the top-performing school in the area. The school has consistently ranked among the top 12% of Tennessee elementary schools over the past 3 years, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its test scores significantly outpace the county and state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels, with 62.9% of students proficient or better in Math and 71.6% in Science, compared to 39.7% and 45.4% for the county, respectively.
In contrast, while East Hamilton Middle School is still performing reasonably well, ranking in the top 16% of Tennessee middle schools with a 4-star rating, its test scores are closer to the county and state averages. Both schools, however, face the challenge of higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates at 18.9%, an area that may require further investigation and improvement efforts.
