Summary

Holston View Elementary School is a PK-5 public school in Bristol, TN — a city in northeast Tennessee — serving 307 students within the Bristol City Schools district, which ranks 28th out of 141 Tennessee districts with a 4-star rating. Over the past decade, the school has consistently ranked in the 86th–96th percentile among Tennessee elementary schools, earning 4- or 5-star ratings every year. Its most recent 2025-26 state rank is 143rd out of 1,019 elementary schools (86th percentile, 4 stars).

Academically, Holston View outperforms both its district and the state in every subject. In 2025-26, 59.7% of students were proficient in math, 58% in ELA, and 68.8% in science — well above Tennessee state averages of 43%, 40.6%, and 46.9%. Science is a particular standout, reaching 81.1% proficiency in 2023-24. Fifth-grade math is also a highlight, with 72.5% proficient versus 47.4% statewide. The relative soft spots are 3rd grade math and 4th grade ELA, where the school sits at or just below district averages. Scores have eased somewhat from a recent peak — math has declined from 68.5% in 2022-23 to 59.7% in 2025-26 — but the school remains well ahead of state averages.

Holston View also stands out for its very low chronic absenteeism: 9.2% in 2024-25, less than half the state rate of 18.3%. Among nearby schools, only Haynesfield Elementary ranks higher statewide (112th vs. 143rd); Holston View outperforms Avoca, Anderson, and Fairmount by wide margins in nearly every subject and dramatically outpaces Emmett, Bluff City, Unaka, and Hunter. A notable concern is the school's volatile results with low-income students, which swung from a 100th-percentile ranking in 2023-24 to a 24th-percentile ranking in 2025-26. While overall scores remain strong, this suggests outcomes may be uneven across student subgroups. The school spends roughly $15,764 per student, more than nearby Haynesfield ($12,763), yet Haynesfield posts slightly better ELA and science scores — a reminder that spending alone doesn't tell the full story.
