Summary

Jacksboro Elementary School serves 616 students from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in Jacksboro, Tennessee, and is the top-performing elementary school in the Campbell County Schools district. While the district itself ranks in the bottom 7% of Tennessee school districts, Jacksboro sits in the middle of the pack statewide at the 43rd percentile, with a 2-star rating. The school exceeds the state average in English language arts (43.6% vs. 40.6% proficient) and nearly matches it in math (42.2% vs. 43.0%). It leads all nearby Campbell County schools by a healthy margin, including Caryville Elementary School, Elk Valley Elementary School, and LaFollette Elementary School.

Parents should know that Jacksboro gets strong results on a relatively lean budget. At $10,686 per pupil, it spends less than every other school in the comparison set—including Briceville Elementary School, which spends nearly twice as much—yet outperforms all of its Campbell County peers. The school has historically been particularly effective at serving students from low-income families, ranking in the top quartile statewide for that subgroup. Fifth-grade math is a bright spot, with 65% of students proficient, far above the state average of 47.4%.

The most pressing concerns are early-grade performance and a steady decline in statewide ranking. Only 16.5% of third graders are proficient in math, well below both district and state averages, and science proficiency (38%) trails the state (46.9%). Jacksboro's ranking has slipped from the 71st percentile in 2020–2021 to its current 43rd percentile, with recent drops among special education students and in the school's White student subgroup. Chronic absenteeism (21%) is better than the district average (28.6%) but above the state (18.3%). Nearby high performers like Fairview Elementary School and Norris Elementary School have much lower absenteeism rates, suggesting that improving attendance and early-grade instruction could help Jacksboro reverse its downward trend.
