Summary

Carpenters Elementary School serves 546 students in grades PK–5 in Maryville, Tennessee, and is part of Blount County Schools. The school itself stands out from the district's middle-of-the-pack profile: it ranks 284th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools, placing it in the 72nd percentile with a 4-star rating—comfortably above the statewide median and ahead of most of its Blount County neighbors.

Academically, Carpenters outpaces both its district and the state in every core subject. Math proficiency is 53.1% (vs. 39.5% district and 43.0% state), ELA is 45.0% (vs. 38.9% district and 40.6% state), and science is 61.7%—more than 14 points above the state average. Science is a clear signature strength, with 4th-grade science proficiency reaching 69.5%, nearly 20 points above the state and higher than nearby Alcoa Intermediate School (56.8%). Among nearby schools, only Friendsville Elementary ranks higher overall, while Carpenters dramatically outperforms schools like Lanier Elementary (28.1% math) and Union Grove Elementary (34.4% math). That said, nearby Maryville City Schools such as Foothills Elementary and Sam Houston Elementary post even higher results, reflecting the significant role of district resources and community context.

Carpenters also stands out for attendance and efficiency. Chronic absenteeism has improved three years in a row, falling from 14.7% in 2022–2023 to 11.2% currently, well below the district's 17.6% and the state's 18.3%. Per-pupil spending of $12,353 is the lowest among nearby schools, and higher-spending peers like Union Grove Elementary ($18,126) and Montvale Elementary ($14,975) post far lower academic results. Historically, Carpenters has been especially effective with economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 93rd and 94th percentiles statewide for that group in back-to-back years, though that slipped to the 68th percentile most recently. Third-grade reading (37.1% proficiency vs. 44.9% statewide) is another soft spot worth monitoring. Overall, Carpenters remains a strong, efficient school by statewide standards.
