Better than 99% of Tennessee elementary schools

Summary

Towne Acres Elementary School is a K-5 school in Johnson City, Tennessee, serving roughly 390 students as part of Johnson City Schools, a district ranked 7th of 141 in the state. The school is one of Tennessee's very best: for 2025-2026 it ranked 12th out of 1,019 elementary schools — the 99th percentile — and it has never fallen below the 96th percentile in any reported year over the past decade. It is the standout among its Johnson City peers, comfortably ahead of Lake Ridge Elementary, Woodland Elementary, Fairmont Elementary, Cherokee Elementary, South Side Elementary, North Side Elementary, and Mountain View Elementary in the most recent state rankings.

Academically, the school roughly doubles the state proficiency rate in math and English. In 2025-2026, 87.7% of Towne Acres students scored proficient in math (vs. 65% district and 43% statewide), 85.6% in ELA (vs. 61.8% district and 40.6% statewide), and 83.4% in science. Its closest competitor, Lake Ridge Elementary, posted 80.3% math, 79.0% ELA, and 82.1% science — strong results, but still trailing in every subject. Schools from neighboring counties trail far behind: Happy Valley Elementary, Central Elementary, and Boones Creek Elementary all score between 41% and 55% in these subjects.

Towne Acres also gets strong results for students who often face extra barriers: low-income students ranked 15th of 843 schools statewide (98th percentile). All of this comes at $13,568 per student — less than several nearby schools that score lower, including North Side Elementary ($17,960) and South Side Elementary ($15,752). The clearest opportunities for growth are science, where its advantage over peers is smallest, and special education, which has been more variable in recent years. Still, the school's sustained excellence — including a #1 statewide ranking in 2016-2017 — makes it one of the top elementary schools in Tennessee.
