Summary

Nolachuckey Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Greeneville, TN, serving 321 students as part of Greene County Schools. The school sits near the middle of the state, ranking 533rd out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools in 2025-26, and below its district, which ranks in the 70th percentile statewide with a 4-star rating.

The school has some clear bright spots. Science is a genuine strength: 51.8% of students are proficient, above the state average of 46.9% and well above nearby Mosheim Elementary School (41.0%) and Bridgeport Elementary School (42.2%). Attendance is also a highlight, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 13.7%—below the district (16.4%), the state (18.3%), and many nearby schools like Parrottsville Elementary School (23.0%) and Del Rio Elementary School (19.0%). Students also show significant growth by 5th grade: math proficiency jumps from 32.6% in 4th grade to 51.7% in 5th grade, and ELA jumps from 27.9% to 43.3%.

However, English Language Arts is the school's most pressing challenge. Only 33.1% of students are proficient in ELA, below the district (40.2%) and state (40.6%), and the lowest among all nearby comparison schools including Centerview Elementary School (39.1%) and Bridgeport Elementary School (42.2%). The school also serves female students much more effectively than male students—girls ranked in the 66th percentile in 2024-25 while boys ranked in the 42nd percentile. Despite per-student spending rising roughly 28% since 2021-22, the school's state ranking has not improved, suggesting that resources may not yet be translating into stronger academic outcomes. The clearest opportunity for improvement lies in elementary literacy, particularly in the early grades.
