Summary

Centerview Elementary School is a small PK–8 school in Newport, Tennessee, serving 225 students as part of Cocke County Schools. The school earned a 3-star rating for 2025–26, placing it in the 58th percentile statewide—a solid mid-tier result that outpaces its district in most subjects. In math, 46.1% of students are proficient versus 44.9% for the district, and science proficiency stands at 52.3% versus the district's 46.0%. Centerview also invests heavily in its students, spending $14,143 per pupil and keeping class sizes small with a student-teacher ratio near 15:1.

The most striking difference between Centerview and its neighbors is attendance. Only 7.4% of Centerview students are chronically absent, compared to 26.2% for the district and 18.3% statewide. Nearby Northwest Elementary has a chronic absenteeism rate of 30.7% and Edgemont Elementary sits at 27.3%; even the closest comparable school, Lincoln Heights Elementary, is at 10.6%. This exceptional attendance culture is likely a major reason Centerview consistently outperforms its district peers. Among district elementary schools, Parrottsville Elementary currently ranks highest statewide, followed by Bridgeport Elementary and Centerview, though Centerview was actually the district's top elementary school the year before.

Academically, Centerview shines in the early grades and in science. Third graders posted 60% math proficiency and 64% science proficiency—both well above state averages—and the school's science scores have met or exceeded state averages for four consecutive years. Centerview also ranks in the 83rd percentile statewide for serving low-income students, a remarkable strength. However, the middle grades show room for improvement: 5th-grade math proficiency drops to 22.7% (far below the state's 47.4%) and 8th-grade ELA sits at just 16.7%. With such a strong foundation in early grades and attendance, boosting upper-grade literacy and math could push Centerview into the state's top tier.
