Witt Elementary is a public elementary school in Morristown, Tennessee, serving 216 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. As part of the Hamblen County School District, which is ranked 69 out of 139 districts in the state, Witt Elementary consistently performs above the district and state averages in proficiency rates for Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science.

Witt Elementary's academic performance is particularly strong, with 46.4% of students proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 43% for Hamblen County and 42.2% for Tennessee. The school's 4th grade students excel, with 62.5% proficient in both Mathematics and English Language Arts. Additionally, Witt Elementary's Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds perform exceptionally well, ranking among the top elementary schools in the state for Mathematics proficiency.

While Witt Elementary's performance is generally on par with or slightly better than other schools in the Hamblen County district, it lags behind some of the higher-performing schools, such as Lincoln Heights Elementary and Union Heights Elementary. However, Witt Elementary's higher per-student spending and smaller class sizes may contribute to its academic success, particularly in areas like Mathematics and English Language Arts.
