Summary

Jellico Elementary School is a small PK–8 school in Jellico, Tennessee, serving 271 students in the Campbell County Schools district. The school currently ranks in the 21st percentile of Tennessee elementary and middle schools with a 1-star rating, and while it has improved from the 7th percentile in 2017–2018, proficiency rates in math (27.8%), ELA (29.7%), science (28.5%), and social studies (30.3%) all trail state averages by roughly 13 to 21 percentage points.

The school's strongest asset is its early elementary instruction. Third graders at Jellico match the state average in math (42.9% vs. 42.6% statewide) and exceed both district and state averages in ELA. The school also shows genuine strengths with high-need students: special education students ranked in the 72nd percentile statewide in 2023–2024, and low-income students ranked in the 72nd percentile that same year — both well above the school's overall standing. However, these gains tend to fade after 4th grade. By 6th grade, only 17.4% of students are proficient in math and 21.7% in ELA, well below district and state averages. A striking outlier is 6th grade social studies, where just 13% of students scored proficient compared to 50.7% for both the district and state — though 7th grade social studies (42.3%) actually beat the district average, suggesting this may be a one-year issue rather than a lasting trend.

Chronic absenteeism is a significant concern, with 26.7% of students chronically absent in 2024–2025 — above the state rate of 18.3%. The nearby comparison is instructive: White Oak Elementary School, just over six miles away, serves the same grades and ranks in the 75th percentile with 48.1% proficiency in core subjects and a chronic absenteeism rate of just 14.8%. Jellico does outperform some nearby schools — including Clairfield Elementary School, which spends over $20,000 per student but posts much lower scores — and its per-pupil spending of $12,479 is moderate. With small class cohorts, some results should be interpreted carefully, but the overall pattern is clear: Jellico's early success needs to carry through the middle grades, and improving attendance would be one of the most important steps forward.
