Summary

Yorkville Elementary School is a small, rural PK–8 school in Yorkville, Tennessee, serving 144 students in the Gibson County Special School District. After ranking in the bottom quartile of Tennessee schools in 2014–2015 and 2016–2017, it jumped to a 4-star rating in 2017–2018 and has remained in the 3–4 star range since. For 2025–2026, Yorkville ranks 279th out of 1,019 schools statewide (73rd percentile, 4 stars), with a student-teacher ratio of roughly 11:1.

Yorkville's chronic absenteeism rate of 7.8% is less than half the state rate (18.3%) and among the lowest in the region, far better than nearby Friendship Elementary School (18.9%) and Dyersburg Primary School (16.4%). Elementary academics are strong—3rd grade math is 55% and 3rd grade science is 70%, both well above state averages. Science is a consistent strength across all grades (55.4% vs. 46.9% statewide), and female students rank in the 90th percentile statewide. The school also outperforms larger schools like Dyersburg Intermediate School and Newbern Elementary School, suggesting its small size supports close relationships and strong early learning.

The biggest concern is a sharp decline in grades 6–8. While elementary math and ELA are solid, 7th grade math proficiency falls to 13.3% (vs. 39.2% statewide) and 8th grade ELA to 17.6% (vs. 32.3%). This middle-school slump is the most severe among nearby PK–8 schools; Rutherford Elementary School posts 7th grade math at 60% and outperforms Yorkville in every subject. Math and social studies scores have also declined over the past three years, with social studies dropping 18 points. Spending is mid-range ($14,448 per student), yet lower-budget schools like Rutherford and Fifth Consolidated School achieve stronger results, suggesting a need for targeted intervention in upper grades and social studies.
