Unicoi County

Summary:

The Unicoi County school district in Tennessee consists of 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 81 out of 139 in Tennessee and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out. Unicoi County Middle School ranks 172 out of 583 Tennessee middle schools and is rated 4 stars out of 5. It has strong test scores, particularly in mathematics and science, outperforming the state and county averages. Meanwhile, Rock Creek Elementary has the highest mathematics proficiency rates among the elementary schools, with over 50% of students proficient or better.

The district faces some challenges as well. Unicoi County High School has a 89.2% four-year graduation rate, which is positive, but also a 6.7% dropout rate that is slightly higher than the state average. Additionally, all schools in the district have a concerning 18.9% chronic absenteeism rate. While per-student spending varies widely, from $10,919 at Unicoi County Middle School to $20,194 at Love Chapel Elementary, there does not appear to be a clear correlation between spending and academic outcomes.
