Elementary Schools in Johnson City

Summary:

The Johnson City school district in Tennessee is home to 8 elementary schools that serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and struggling schools, with Towne Acres Elementary and Lake Ridge Elementary consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state. However, other schools like Mountain View Elementary face challenges, with only 34-40% of students proficient in core subjects.

The data highlights significant performance gaps between the highest and lowest performing schools in the district. Towne Acres Elementary and Lake Ridge Elementary have exceptional test scores, with over 80% and 70% of students proficient or better in math, ELA, and science, respectively. In contrast, Mountain View Elementary struggles, with much lower proficiency rates. This suggests the district may need to address these achievement gaps to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.

Across the district, the data reveals a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 18.9%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, there are funding disparities, with per-student spending ranging from $12,089 at Lake Ridge Elementary to $17,107 at North Side Elementary. Addressing these issues, along with exploring the potential impact of student demographics, could help Johnson City schools improve outcomes for all students.
