Summary

Doe Elementary School is a small rural school in Mountain City, Tennessee, serving 231 students in grades PK–6 as part of Johnson County Schools, a district ranked near the very bottom of Tennessee. The school currently holds a 1-star rating and ranks in the 15th percentile of elementary schools statewide — a significant decline from just a few years ago, when it ranked in the 65th percentile in 2020–2021. While Doe performs somewhat better than its district average in math and science, it still trails state proficiency rates by roughly 17 to 20 percentage points.

On the latest state tests, about 24% of Doe students were proficient in math, 20% in English language arts, and 30% in science — compared to state averages of 43%, 40.6%, and 46.9%. The trend is concerning: math proficiency has fallen from 44.6% in 2022–2023 to 24% today, and social studies proficiency dropped to just 8.7% in 2024–2025, far below the state's 49%. Grade-level gaps are also stark. While 4th graders posted 40% proficiency in math, 6th graders reached only 8.7% — well below peers at nearby Laurel Elementary (33.3%) and Mountain City Elementary (29.8%) in the same subject and grade.

Doe does have real strengths. Students from low-income families and those receiving special education services have ranked in the top quarter of Tennessee schools in recent years, and attendance is solid — the chronic absenteeism rate of 11.6% in 2024–2025 is below both the district and the state. The school also spends generously, about $18,288 per student, more than nearby Hampton Elementary ($12,548) and East Side Elementary ($14,288), and maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of roughly 12 to 1. Yet that investment has not produced stronger results, leaving Doe a well-resourced school with some bright spots but real challenges, particularly in the upper grades.
