Summary:

Washington County Schools is a Tennessee district serving 14 schools (10 elementary schools, 2 traditional high schools, and 2 alternative schools) with a total enrollment of 7,384 students. The district is rated 4 stars and ranks 30th out of 141 Tennessee districts, placing it in the upper tier statewide. For parents, the standout traditional high school is Daniel Boone High School, which has stayed at the 69th percentile for three years, graduates 97.2% of its students, and beats David Crockett High School in nearly every subject—especially U.S. History (55.6% vs. 34.3%) and Biology (46.7% vs. 35.0%). David Crockett has declined from the 55th to 41st percentile over the same period. Among elementary schools, West View School ranks highest at the 88th percentile, with strong math (62.4%) and ELA (60.8%) proficiency, while Ridgeview Elementary School also shines with low chronic absenteeism (8.9%) and district-leading social studies (66.1%).

High school math is a district-wide weakness: both traditional high schools score around 22–23% proficient in Algebra I, well below the state average of 32.3%, and geometry is also weak at Daniel Boone (35.9% vs. 42.3% statewide). Conversely, English II is a strength—Daniel Boone posts 65.9% proficiency and David Crockett 62.7%, both above the state. Chronic absenteeism is a serious issue at the high schools, at 25–26%, far above the district average of 17.3%. University School, though classified as alternative, posts dramatically higher scores—72.5% math, 72.0% ELA, and 94.0% English II—and has only 6.0% chronic absenteeism, making it an outlier that should be viewed separately.

Spending does not align with results. South Central Elementary School spends the most per student ($17,965) yet has the lowest proficiency in math, ELA, and social studies. Meanwhile, top performer West View spends $15,541. Fall Branch Elementary School made the biggest improvement, jumping from the 34th to 65th percentile, but still trails the district in ELA and social studies. Jonesborough Elementary School offers advanced math opportunities, with 82.6% Algebra I and 90% Geometry proficiency among accelerated students, despite lower overall math scores. Overall, Washington County has excellent elementary options and a stable high school in Daniel Boone, but high school math and chronic absenteeism remain the key areas to watch.
