Summary

Briceville Elementary School is a small rural school in Briceville, Tennessee, serving 96 students in pre-kindergarten through 5th grade as part of Anderson County Schools. With fewer than 100 students, it is the smallest elementary school in its immediate area, and class sizes are correspondingly intimate — the student-teacher ratio was just 10.3 in 2023-2024.

Academically, Briceville is a school of contrasts. Math has become a genuine bright spot: 46.8% of students scored proficient in 2025-2026, above both the district (43.3%) and state (43%) averages, and more than double the school's 25% proficiency rate from four years ago. That puts Briceville ahead of nearby Lake City Elementary School (37.4%) and Dutch Valley Elementary School (29.8%) in math. Reading is closer to average, with 40.4% proficient — slightly above the district but just below the state. Science, however, is a serious concern: 31.9% proficient is the lowest among comparable area schools and roughly 15 points below the state average. The 5th grade science score of 16.7% versus 46.5% statewide points to a specific weakness in upper-elementary science.

Briceville spends more per student than any nearby school — $20,524 in 2024-2025, compared to $12,097 at Clinton Elementary School — yet its overall ranking sits in the 40th percentile, while Norris Elementary School, which spends less, ranks in the 89th. Chronic absenteeism (18.2%) is higher than high-performing neighbors like Norris (7.4%) and Fairview Elementary School (9.9%). There is also a persistent gap between female students (52nd percentile) and male students (17th percentile). Because the school is so small, year-to-year swings can be dramatic, but the overall trend is encouraging — Briceville climbed from the 29th to the 40th percentile in a single year.
