Summary:
The Scott County school district in Tennessee serves 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 115 out of 139 districts in the state and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Among the schools in the district, a few stand out. Fairview Elementary ranks 238 out of 1,009 elementary schools in Tennessee and is rated 4 out of 5 stars, with the highest proficiency rates across multiple subjects and grade levels. Robbins Elementary and Huntsville Elementary also perform above the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics.
However, the district faces significant challenges, with wide disparities in academic performance between the top-performing schools and the lower-performing ones, such as Burchfield Elementary, Winfield Elementary, and Scott High School. Additionally, all schools in the district have a high chronic absenteeism rate of 18.9%, which is well above the state average and likely contributes to the overall low performance of the district.
