Summary

Corryton Elementary School is a small K–5 public school in Corryton, TN, serving just 195 students within Knox County Schools. It has earned a 4-star rating for six consecutive years and ranks in the 78th percentile statewide (221 of 1,019 schools) in 2025–2026. That places it well above nearby schools like Gibbs Elementary (67th percentile), Paulette Elementary (52nd), Carter Elementary (46th), and East Knox Elementary (37th). It is the strongest elementary school in its immediate area — a clear outlier within a district that ranks in the 45th percentile overall.

Academically, Corryton's results are striking. In math, 60.2% of students are proficient, compared to 45% for the district and 43% statewide. In English language arts, 65.0% are proficient — roughly 24 points above the state average of 40.6%. Third-grade scores are especially strong, with 75.8% proficiency in both math and ELA. Chronic absenteeism is another differentiator: only 11.3% of students are chronically absent, versus 19.4% for Knox County Schools and 18.3% statewide. That is dramatically lower than East Knox Elementary (28.2%) and Maynardville Elementary (25.2%), and nearly the lowest among all nearby schools.

There are a couple of areas worth watching. Fourth-grade scores show a dip, especially in science (41.4% vs. 53.9% district) and math (48.3% vs. 51.2% district), though 5th grade rebounds strongly. Overall science proficiency (48.5%) slipped below the district average (50.9%) in 2025–2026, after several years above it. The school's spending is moderate — $15,264 per student, more than Gibbs Elementary but less than East Knox Elementary and Maynardville Elementary — which suggests efficient use of resources. On nearly every major metric, Corryton outperforms its geographic neighbors, making it a standout choice for families in the Corryton area.
