Summary:
The Johnson City school district in Tennessee is home to 11 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 8th out of 139 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating a high-quality education system.
Several schools stand out in the district, including Towne Acres Elementary, which is ranked 6th out of 1,009 elementary schools in Tennessee and has consistently high test scores across all grade levels. Science Hill High School is the lone high school in the district and is ranked 27th out of 389 high schools in the state, with strong performance on end-of-course exams. The two middle schools, Liberty Bell Middle School and Indian Trail Middle School, are also highly ranked, at 43rd and 47th out of 583 middle schools in Tennessee, respectively.
While the district as a whole performs well, there is a noticeable gap in performance between the highest-performing and lower-performing schools. The district may want to examine resource allocation and ensure equitable funding across all schools, as spending per student ranges from $12,089 at Lake Ridge Elementary to $17,107 at North Side Elementary. Additionally, the consistent 18.9% chronic absenteeism rate across all schools is an area of concern that the district may want to investigate and address.
