Summary:

The city of Mascot, Tennessee has only one public school serving grades PK-5: East Knox Elementary. The school is part of the Knox County school district, which is ranked 77 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

East Knox Elementary has consistently underperformed academically compared to the Knox County and Tennessee state averages. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science are lower than the county and state across all grade levels, and the school's performance has declined over the past few years. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's Mathematics proficiency rate was 29.6%, compared to 43.2% for Knox County and 42.2% for the state.

Other concerning metrics for East Knox Elementary include a high chronic absenteeism rate of 18.9% in the 2023-2024 school year, as well as a declining statewide ranking, dropping from 780 out of 1,020 Tennessee elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 680 out of 1,009 in 2024-2025. The school's SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 1 star to 2 stars out of 5 during this time period. Despite the relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, the school's academic performance remains subpar, suggesting that simply allocating more resources may not be the sole solution.
