Summary:
Doyle, Tennessee is served by a single school, Doyle Elementary School, which enrolls 309 students in grades PK–5 and is part of the high-achieving White County Schools district, ranked 17th out of 141 Tennessee districts. The school consistently earns a 4-star state rating, with its best rank coming in 2024–2025 at the 83rd percentile before slipping to the 73rd percentile in 2025–2026. Despite this dip, Doyle remains a strong choice for families, outperforming state averages in every all-grade subject, with math at 58.1% proficiency versus the state's 43.0% and science at 58.8% versus 46.9% statewide.
Doyle's most impressive asset is its 4th grade cohort, which achieves exceptional results: 86.1% proficiency in math (36.7 points above the state average), 69.4% in ELA, and 69.4% in science. The school also excels in attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 7.7%—far below the district's 12.4% and less than half the state's 18.3%. This combination of strong attendance and standout 4th grade performance points to a generally healthy, engaged school culture that benefits most students across the lower elementary grades.
However, there are notable areas for improvement. Third grade is a relative weakness, with math proficiency at 39.1%—well below the district's 58.0%—and ELA at 39.1% versus the state's 44.9%. Fifth grade ELA also lags at 38.9%, below both district and state averages. Additionally, all-grade test scores declined from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 even as district and state scores improved, explaining the school's rank drop. For parents, Doyle Elementary School offers a nurturing, above-average educational environment with excellent attendance and a standout 4th grade, though families should watch how the school addresses early-grade foundational skills and upper-elementary literacy in the coming years.
