Summary

Grand Oaks Elementary School, serving 303 students in grades PK-5 in Clinton, Tennessee, is a standout performer within Anderson County Schools. While the district ranks at the 47th percentile statewide, Grand Oaks earned a 4-star rating and ranked 235th out of 1,019 Tennessee schools in 2025–2026, placing it at the 77th percentile. The school's TNReady scores are well above district and state averages in math (57.9% proficient), ELA (50.8%), and science (61.1%).

What makes Grand Oaks notable is how it compares to nearby schools. It outperforms fellow Anderson County schools like Claxton Elementary and Dutch Valley Elementary by roughly 20 to 30 percentage points in every tested subject. Even against schools in higher-rated Oak Ridge Schools and Clinton City Schools districts, Grand Oaks holds its own—particularly in science, where its 61.1% proficiency trails only Linden Elementary and Dyllis Springs Elementary among nearby schools. Fifth grade is a particular strength, with math proficiency at 71.8%, but fourth-grade math and ELA dip below district and state averages. The school also earns high marks for serving special education and low-income students, ranking in the 87th percentile for both subgroups statewide.

Attendance is another bright spot. Grand Oaks' chronic absenteeism rate of 12.7% is well below the district rate of 17.1% and the state rate of 18.3%, and it has improved over the past several years. At $15,462 per student, the school's spending is moderate compared to nearby Oak Ridge schools, yet it produces some of the strongest math and science scores in the area. Overall, Grand Oaks is a high-achieving school that delivers strong results for a broad range of students, with fourth grade being the one area worth watching.
