Summary

Doe Elementary is a public elementary school located in Mountain City, Tennessee, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 224 students. The school is part of the Johnson County School District, which is ranked 134 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Doe Elementary's performance on TNReady assessments is generally below the state and county averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (25%), English Language Arts (23.8%), and Science (29.8%) are significantly lower than the state averages (42.2%, 38.9%, and 46.1%, respectively). The school's performance is particularly weak in Social Studies, with only 8.7% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 49%. Doe Elementary's performance has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 344 out of 983 Tennessee elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 837 out of 1,009 in 2024-2025.

Doe Elementary's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. While female students and students with low socioeconomic status perform relatively well, the school's performance for male students and white students is much weaker. The school's performance for special education students is also a concern. Additionally, Doe Elementary has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11.3% to 20.2% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the state average. However, the school has relatively high per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio, which could be leveraged to improve student outcomes if used effectively.
