Summary

Parrottsville Elementary is a public school serving grades PK-8 in Parrottsville, Tennessee, which is part of the Cocke County School District. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past several years, currently ranking 365 out of 1,009 Tennessee elementary schools with a 3-star rating.

Parrottsville Elementary generally outperforms the Cocke County district and the state of Tennessee in both mathematics and English language arts proficiency across most grade levels. The school's performance is particularly strong in science, with a 52.9% proficiency rate for all grades in 2024-2025, compared to 45.7% for Cocke County and 46.1% for Tennessee. Parrottsville also performs well for its special education students, ranking 151 out of 618 Tennessee elementary schools in this category.

However, the school has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average, ranging from 18.9% to 26.9% over the past few years. This is an area of concern that the school and district may need to address. Parrottsville Elementary generally outperforms the nearby Grassy Fork Elementary, Del Rio Elementary, and Edgemont Elementary in the Cocke County district, but the nearby Newport Grammar School outperforms Parrottsville across most subject areas and grade levels.
