Summary:
The city of Surgoinsville, Tennessee is home to two schools: Surgoinsville Elementary and Surgoinsville Middle School, both of which serve students in the Hawkins County school district. While the schools have some differences in their performance and rankings, they both face the challenge of relatively high chronic absenteeism rates.
Surgoinsville Elementary has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 395 out of 1,009 elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 622 out of 1,018 in 2023-2024. However, the school's test scores are generally higher than the Hawkins County and Tennessee state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Science. In contrast, Surgoinsville Middle School has maintained a consistent statewide ranking, ranging from 222 out of 583 middle schools in 2024-2025 to 268 out of 587 in 2023-2024, but its test scores are more mixed, with some grades performing above the county and state averages, while others fall behind.
Both Surgoinsville Elementary and Surgoinsville Middle School have a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 18.9% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the state average. This could be an area of concern and warrant further investigation. Overall, the data suggests that Surgoinsville Elementary is a relatively stronger-performing school, while Surgoinsville Middle School has a more mixed performance.
