Summary

Andrew Jackson Elementary School in Kingsport, TN, is a public PK-5 school serving 430 students as part of the Kingsport City Schools district. Despite being located in one of Tennessee's strongest districts (ranked 21st out of 141 districts), this school is a significant outlier, holding a 1-star rating and ranking in the 20th percentile statewide for 2025-2026.

Academically, Andrew Jackson trails every nearby elementary school by a wide margin. In 2025-2026, just 29.6% of students were proficient in math, 28.4% in ELA, and 30.0% in science — roughly half the district averages (54.3%, 52.4%, and 58.7% respectively). The closest neighbor, Theodore Roosevelt Elementary School, outperforms it by about 20 percentage points in math and ELA, while Andrew Johnson Elementary School (2.9 miles away) is roughly 36–44 points higher in every subject. Even schools in nearby districts, such as Sullivan Gardens Elementary School and Mt Carmel Elementary School, significantly outpace Andrew Jackson. The school's 3rd grade math proficiency is especially alarming: only 13.6% of 3rd graders are proficient, compared to 42.6% statewide.

Chronic absenteeism is the clearest challenge and highest in the area: 32.2% of students are chronically absent, versus 24.3% for the district and 18.3% for Tennessee. That rate has stayed above 30% for four consecutive years, while high-performing neighbors like Rock Springs Elementary School (11.0%) and Thomas Jefferson Elementary School (11.4%) sit in the low teens. Compounding the issue, per-student spending has risen from $12,688 to $15,344 over three years while proficiency has declined, and the school's state percentile has dropped from 44th (2022-2023) to 20th. Improving attendance, alongside a brighter spot in 4th grade math, offers a practical starting point for reversing the downward trend.
