Summary

White Oak Elementary School is a small PK-8 school in Duff, TN, serving just 101 students as part of Campbell County Schools. Despite its district’s low overall ranking, White Oak stands out as the highest-ranked school in the comparison group, earning a 4-star rating and a statewide rank of 252 out of 1,019 schools (75th percentile) for 2025-2026. That’s a major jump from previous years, when it ranked in the 39th percentile (2024-2025) and 35th percentile (2023-2024).

Academically, White Oak’s math, ELA, and science proficiency rates are all 48.1%—well above district averages (32.7%, 32.8%, and 33.5%, respectively) and at or above state averages in math and science. The school also outperforms nearby Wynn Habersham Elementary, just 3.3 miles away, which posts 29.0% math and 23.7% ELA proficiency. Attendance is another strength: chronic absenteeism is only 14.8%, far lower than the district’s 28.6% and better than the state’s 18.3%. The school’s small class sizes (about 10 students per teacher) and higher per-student spending ($18,858) may also be contributing to these results.

Still, there are a few caveats. Social studies remains the clear weak spot, with 35.7% proficiency versus 51.4% statewide—though that’s a huge improvement from under 6% just two years ago. And the recent ranking leap should be viewed with some caution: with only 101 students, a single strong class can skew schoolwide results. For example, 3rd grade ELA proficiency is 72.7%, but 7th grade ELA is just 16.7%, suggesting a need to focus on sustaining literacy growth through the middle grades. Even so, White Oak has transformed from a low-ranked school a decade ago into a regional standout, and it’s definitely one to watch in the coming years.
