Elementary Schools in Kingsport

Summary:

The Kingsport school district in Tennessee is home to 9 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, with several standouts like John Adams Elementary School, Thomas Jefferson Elementary School, and Andrew Johnson Elementary School ranking among the top 110 elementary schools in the state.

While the top-performing schools have impressive test scores, with over 60% proficiency in math and English Language Arts, the district as a whole faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates of nearly 19% across all schools. Spending per student varies, from $12,547 at George Washington Elementary to $16,305 at Theodore Roosevelt Elementary, and student-teacher ratios range from 10.5 to 15.3 students per teacher.

The data suggests that addressing equity gaps, chronic absenteeism, and ensuring adequate funding and resources for all schools should be key priorities for the Kingsport school district. With a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, the district has an opportunity to learn from its top-ranked institutions and implement strategies to improve outcomes across all its elementary schools.
