Summary

Piedmont Elementary School in Dandridge, TN, is a public school serving 367 students in grades PK-5 as part of Jefferson County Schools. In the most recent 2025-2026 ranking, Piedmont placed 455th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools, landing in the 55th percentile with 3 stars—a step back from the previous two years, when the school ranked in the 73rd and 72nd percentiles with 4 stars. Even with the recent dip, Piedmont remains above the district's median performance and has stabilized since a notable 6th-percentile ranking in 2016-2017.

Piedmont's clearest academic strengths are mathematics and science. In math, the school has outperformed both the district and state by meaningful margins for three consecutive years—51.6% proficiency vs. 43.3% district and 43.0% state in 2025-2026. Science is similarly strong, especially in 5th grade, where 60.6% of students were proficient compared to 46.5% statewide. Another standout is attendance: Piedmont's chronic absenteeism rate of 12.6% in 2024-2025 is well below the district rate of 19.1% and the state rate of 18.3%, and much better than nearby schools like Northview Primary School (25.6%) or Boyds Creek Elementary School (21.1%). The school also achieves outstanding results for economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 81st percentile or higher statewide for three consecutive years, including a 95th-percentile ranking in 2023-2024.

English Language Arts is the relative weakness, with 40.5% proficiency in 2025-2026—essentially at the state average. The dip appears concentrated in specific grade levels: 4th grade ELA proficiency was 33.3% vs. 47.4% statewide, while 5th grade ELA reached 48.5%. Among nearby schools, Talbott Elementary School posts stronger math (63.3%) and ELA (48.9%), while Dandridge Elementary School outperforms Piedmont in all three subjects but has a much higher chronic absenteeism rate (19.7% vs. 12.6%). Piedmont also stands out as an efficient performer, spending $12,761 per student—less than nearby Sevier County Schools—while producing competitive math outcomes and significantly better attendance. With a strong track record for low-income students and solid attendance, Piedmont's main area to watch is ELA in the lower elementary grades.
