Summary

Bean Station Elementary School serves 437 students in pre-kindergarten through 6th grade in the small town of Bean Station, Tennessee, and is part of Grainger County Schools. The school's statewide ranking has shifted considerably over the past decade, improving from the 14th percentile in 2014–2015 to the 60th percentile in 2024–2025, then dropping to the 43rd percentile in 2025–2026 with a 2-star rating.

Academically, the biggest concern is math, where 28.2% of students are proficient compared to 36.0% in the district and 43.0% statewide. English language arts is also below district and state averages at 36.9%. The early grades are the main drag: 3rd grade math proficiency is just 11.9%, and 4th and 5th grade ELA both sit at 24.4%. By contrast, 6th grade is a genuine bright spot, with ELA proficiency of 52.2% and science proficiency of 61.8%, both well above state averages. In fact, 6th graders here outperform those at Rutledge Elementary School — the other tested elementary school in the district — in ELA, science, and social studies. Science is an underappreciated strength overall, with Bean Station's 47.9% proficiency above the state average and higher than most nearby Hamblen County Schools, including Manley Elementary School, West Elementary School, and Hillcrest Elementary School.

Attendance is a concern worth asking about: 20.1% of Bean Station students are chronically absent, higher than the district rate of 17.2% and most nearby schools. On a more positive note, economically disadvantaged students perform at a higher statewide percentile than the school's overall ranking, suggesting targeted supports are helping. Per-pupil spending of $13,193 is moderate — below Rutledge Elementary School's $14,628 but similar to Manley Elementary School and higher than several Hamblen County Schools. Overall, Bean Station is an uneven school: the early grades clearly need additional support, but the strong 6th grade program shows what the school is capable of achieving.
