Summary

Highland Elementary School is a small PK-5 school in Greeneville, TN, serving 147 students and belonging to Greeneville City Schools, a district ranked 27th out of 141 districts in Tennessee. The school itself, however, sits in the 35th percentile statewide with a 2-star rating — an improvement from its 1-star years between 2013 and 2021, though still below the district's overall standing.

Highland's most striking academic pattern is its split profile. In English language arts, 53.1% of students are proficient, which is above the district rate of 51.5% and well above the state rate of 40.6%. Math tells a very different story: only 20.3% of students are proficient, far below the district (46.5%) and state (43.0%), and the lowest among nearby elementary schools — Eastview Elementary School posts 57.3%, Tusculum View Elementary School 51.8%, and Camp Creek Elementary School 60.1%. Science also trails at 37.5%. Grade-level data shows a bright spot: 3rd grade ELA proficiency reaches 72.2%, while 4th and 5th grade math falls to 13.8% and 17.6%.

Highland spends $20,564 per student — roughly $5,500 more than the next closest same-district school and more than double some Greene County schools — and offers a favorable 10.5:1 student-teacher ratio. Attendance is a clear strength, with chronic absenteeism at just 8.3% versus 18.3% statewide. The school also stands out for its economically disadvantaged students, who ranked in the 68th–87th percentile in recent years compared to similar students across Tennessee. Given the small enrollment, year-to-year swings should be read with caution, but strong literacy outcomes, solid attendance, and high per-pupil spending all suggest a foundation the school could build on to close the math gap.
