Summary

New Hopewell Elementary School in Knoxville, TN, is a K–5 school in Knox County Schools serving 262 students, and it has become one of the strongest academic performers in the South Knoxville area. The school holds a 4-star rating and ranks 216th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools, placing it in the top quartile statewide. This marks a dramatic turnaround from 2016–17, when the school ranked near the bottom of the state at the 9th percentile.

New Hopewell exceeds both district and state averages in every core subject. In math, 61.3% of students are proficient, compared to 45.0% for Knox County and 43.0% for the state—a sharp 14-point jump from the prior year. English Language Arts proficiency stands at 50.0% (versus 44.7% for the district and 40.6% statewide), and science at 57.3% (versus 50.9% and 46.9%). This performance sets it apart from several nearby schools: Mooreland Heights Elementary School, Dogwood Elementary School, and Sarah Moore Greene Magnet Technology Academy all post proficiency rates in the teens or twenties, making New Hopewell a clear academic anchor in the area.

One of the school's most notable strengths is its effectiveness with economically disadvantaged students. Students from these backgrounds rank in the 84th percentile statewide, and the school has improved in this area for three consecutive years. New Hopewell also achieves strong results for male students and special education students. It does so while spending $16,301 per student—less than several lower-performing nearby schools, including Mooreland Heights ($18,254), Sarah Moore Greene ($17,881), and Dogwood ($17,395). The main areas to watch are 5th-grade English Language Arts, where proficiency dips below the district average, and a gender gap in overall subgroup performance. Still, with strong math and science outcomes, efficient spending, and a ten-year upward trajectory, New Hopewell stands out as a success story within Knox County.
