Summary

Andrew Johnson Elementary School is a PK–5 elementary school in Kingsport, TN, serving 558 students—the largest enrollment in its immediate area—within the Kingsport City Schools district. It ranks as one of the region's top academic performers, placing 102nd out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools (90th percentile, 5 stars) in the 2025–26 school year, with a decade-long record that has never dipped below the 85th percentile.

AJ outperforms both its district and state averages by wide margins in every tested subject. In 2025–26, 71.9% of students scored proficient in English Language Arts (compared to 52.4% district and 40.6% state), 66% in math (district 54.3%, state 43%), and 66.4% in science (district 58.7%, state 46.9%)—a 20-plus-point advantage over the state in all three subjects. Among nearby schools, AJ posts the highest ELA proficiency, edging out Miller Perry Elementary School (67%) and Thomas Jefferson Elementary School (63.1%). Interestingly, Thomas Jefferson—located less than a mile away with nearly identical per-student spending—matches AJ in math and science but falls short in literacy, suggesting AJ's instructional culture is especially effective at building reading skills.

What makes AJ particularly impressive is that these results come with below-average spending ($13,314 per student vs. roughly $15,468 average for nearby schools), and success is spread broadly across student groups: low-income students, male students, and special education students all perform at or above the 79th percentile statewide. The school's chronic absenteeism rate (17.7%) is well below the district's 24.3%, and AJ has shown steady growth, with ELA proficiency climbing 16.4 points over three years—from 55.5% in 2022–23 to 71.9% in 2025–26. For parents seeking a high-achieving, cost-efficient, and equitable school, Andrew Johnson Elementary delivers.
