Summary

Hawkins Elementary School is a Grade 3–5 intermediate school in Rogersville, Tennessee, serving 270 students as part of Hawkins County Schools, a district that currently ranks in the 30th percentile statewide. Over the past three years, Hawkins has climbed from the 23rd to the 48th percentile in Tennessee's elementary school rankings, earning a 2-star rating. Its math proficiency (43.4%) now essentially matches the state average, and its ELA proficiency (43.6%) exceeds both the district and state averages. Science remains the lagging subject, with 41.9% proficiency compared to the state's 46.9%.

The school's most impressive achievement is its sustained academic turnaround. Math proficiency has jumped from 24.6% to 43.4% in just three years, while ELA has risen from 25.0% to 43.6% — gains that far outpace the district's overall improvement. Fifth graders are particularly strong, with 52.6% proficient in math and 50.0% in ELA, outpacing nearby Mooresburg Elementary School and Bulls Gap School. Economically disadvantaged students at Hawkins perform in the 62nd percentile statewide, a notable equity strength. Chronic absenteeism has also dropped sharply, from 26.6% to 16.7%, now below both the district and state averages.

Challenges remain. Science proficiency sits 10–15 points behind comparable schools like St Clair Elementary School, Surgoinsville Elementary School, and Baileyton Elementary School. Fourth grade is a softer spot than 5th grade, and special education students have seen their statewide percentile ranking decline in recent years. Just a mile away, Rogersville Elementary School — a larger PK–8 school in a different district — sits at the same 48th percentile, but Hawkins outperforms it in both math (43.4% vs. 41.6%) and ELA (43.6% vs. 36.5%), while Rogersville holds the edge in science (46.7% vs. 41.9%).

What people are saying

by a student
Wednesday, February 11, 2009

I went to these schools for a while when I was younger and totally hated it. I moved in from Ohio and it was completely different. The children in low grades didn't even get recess. I was in fourth grade, and we didn't have this... Fourth grade. It's not that big of a deal now, but for fourth graders it is. The educational system wasn't all that great and many of the teachers made "threats" to me in school, because corporal punishment is allowed there, as long as parents fill out a consent form. My parents didn't sign it, but my teacher at one point threatened to whip me. Some of the teachers were actually alright, but if you did well in classes, or didn't act like a fool, you were made fun of by a multitude of the other kids. I remember being called a teachers pet because I didn't act up in class. The schools are not very good at all, and for people planning to move there, I would suggest home school. I don't know about other schools in Tennessee, but I know that this was an extremely rural area that put poor effort into the education system, probably because of funding in the area. I loved the land scape of the smokies, but the schools made me long to leave as soon as possible. Close Quote
