Summary

Valley View Elementary School is a PK–5 school in La Follette, Tennessee, serving 452 students in Campbell County Schools. While the district ranks in the bottom 7% of Tennessee districts, Valley View Elementary School beats its district average in every core subject and has been improving quickly. In 2025–2026, the school earned 2 stars and climbed to 663rd of 1,019 schools statewide — its best ranking since 2021–2022. Math proficiency more than doubled from 16.6% to 36.4%, while ELA rose to 36.4% and science to 37.6%.

One standout is Valley View's work with special education students. They ranked 17th of 641 schools statewide — a 5-star result in the 97th percentile. The school also showed dramatic gains for students from low-income families, climbing from the 8th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 45th percentile in 2025–2026. However, there is a clear split by grade level. Third graders scored well above state averages in math (49.1%), ELA (57.9%), and science (57.9%), but 4th and 5th grade scores fall well below district and state averages. This suggests the strongest instruction is currently concentrated in the early elementary grades.

Chronic absenteeism sits at 25.0% — better than the Campbell County average of 28.6% but well above the state's 18.3%. On spending, Valley View used $11,766 per student, less than nearby LaFollette Elementary School, Wynn Habersham Elementary School, and Jellico Elementary School, yet it outperformed all three in 2025–2026. Among nearby schools, only White Oak Elementary School and Jacksboro Elementary School rank higher, while Elk Valley Elementary School, Caryville Elementary School, and others trail behind. With strong momentum and room to grow in the upper grades, Valley View is an improving school worth watching.
