Summary

Surgoinsville Elementary is a public elementary school serving 330 students in grades K-4 in Surgoinsville, Tennessee. The school is part of the Hawkins County School District, which is ranked 114 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Surgoinsville Elementary consistently outperforms the Hawkins County district and the state of Tennessee in proficiency rates across all subjects and grade levels, particularly in 4th grade ELA and science. The school also stands out for its strong support of special education and economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the top 15% of Tennessee elementary schools for these subgroups. However, the school's performance for male and white students has been more mixed.

While Surgoinsville Elementary outperforms other schools in the Hawkins County district, it lags behind higher-performing schools in the Kingsport and Washington County districts, such as George Washington Elementary and Fall Branch Elementary. The school's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio suggest it is allocating resources effectively, which may contribute to its academic success.
