Summary

Gibbs Elementary School in Corryton, TN, is a large PK–5 school serving 966 students as part of Knox County Schools. The school has a solid record of above-average performance, currently earning a 3-star rating and ranking in the 67th percentile statewide — a modest step down from the prior three years, when it consistently ranked in the mid-70s with 4-star ratings. Academically, Gibbs outperforms both the district and state in math, English language arts, and science.

Gibbs's strongest subject areas are math and science. On the most recent TNReady assessments, 52.6% of students were proficient in math and 53.2% in science, with 5th graders performing especially well — 64.1% proficient in math and 61.4% in science. The school also stands out for strong attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 14.0% in 2024–2025, far better than the district's 19.4% and much lower than nearby schools like East Knox Elementary School (28.2%), Spring Hill Elementary School (21.0%), and Luttrell Elementary School (21.4%). Gibbs also spends less per student ($13,044) than every nearby comparison school, including Corryton Elementary School ($15,264) and Fountain City Elementary School ($14,808), while achieving better academic outcomes than several higher-spending neighbors.

There are a few areas worth watching. Fourth-grade English language arts is a relative soft spot, with only 41.3% of students proficient, below both district and state averages. The school also saw slight year-over-year declines in math and ELA proficiency, which contributed to the recent rating dip. Performance across student subgroups has generally been strong — special education students improved sharply, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds have consistently scored above the state median — though some smaller subgroups have shown year-to-year swings. Overall, Gibbs offers solid academics, strong attendance, and efficient use of resources within a diverse local landscape — a dependable choice for families, with room to grow in reading.
