Summary

Allen Elementary School in Soddy Daisy, TN, serves 416 students in grades PK–5 and is part of Hamilton County Schools, which ranks in the 43rd percentile statewide. Despite that mid-tier district, Allen has been a top-quartile school in Tennessee, earning a 4-star rating and ranking 246th out of 1,019 elementary schools in 2025–2026. It beats district and state averages by double digits in every subject: 54.8% in math (vs. 43% state), 51.7% in ELA (vs. 40.6% state), and 56.7% in science (vs. 46.9% state).

Allen's attendance is exemplary—chronic absenteeism is just 12.3%, far below the district's 17.1%. The school also excels in early elementary grades: 3rd grade math proficiency is 60.3%, about 18 points above the state—but that edge narrows by 5th grade, when math falls to 53.8% and ELA to 49.2%. Special education outcomes have improved dramatically, from the 48th to 81st percentile in three years. However, low-income student outcomes have declined from the 80th to 36th percentile over the same period, a rising concern.

Among nearby schools, Allen is a strong mid-tier performer. It posts math scores nearly identical to McConnell Elementary School (54.8% vs. 54.6%) but trails by nearly 7 points in ELA. North Hamilton County Elementary School and Big Ridge Elementary School each exceed Allen in reading by 8–10 points, and Wallace A. Smith Elementary School—the area leader at 98th statewide—leads in all subjects. Notably, Allen and Soddy Elementary School share the same 76th percentile and identical math scores, yet Allen starts ahead in 3rd grade (60.3% vs. 43.6%) while Soddy finishes ahead in 5th (53.8% vs. 72.4%). At the other end, Hixson Elementary School trails Allen by over 30 points in every subject. Allen is a dependable, above-average school; its next step is sustaining growth into upper grades and closing the ELA gap with its best neighbors.
