Summary
Beaumont Elementary/Magnet School is a K–5 magnet school in Knoxville, TN, serving 504 students within Knox County Schools, a district ranked 78th out of 141 Tennessee districts. Beaumont has earned a 3-star rating and ranks 360th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools, putting it in the 65th percentile. That marks a significant turnaround: a decade ago, the school ranked in the bottom quarter of the state, and it reached a 4-star peak in 2021–2022. In 2025–2026, Beaumont outpaced both the state and its district in math (49.3% proficient) and English language arts (51.1%), while science proficiency (47.6%) came in above the state but below the district average.
Beaumont is the clear academic leader in its immediate west Knoxville cluster, second only to South Knox Elementary School among nearby schools. Just half a mile away, Maynard Elementary School ranks 991st out of 1,019 schools, while Beaumont's own closest neighbors — Lonsdale Elementary School and Emerald Academy — rank in the bottom 30%. Notably, Beaumont achieves these results while spending less per student ($15,438) than nearly every comparable school in the area; Maynard, for example, spends more than twice as much. The school also posts a chronic absenteeism rate of 15.4%, below the district (19.4%) and state (18.3%) averages, and better than most nearby schools. Beaumont also dramatically outperforms Green Magnet Math And Science Academy, another magnet school less than two miles away, which ranks 986th despite spending about $5,000 more per student.
Academically, Beaumont's 5th graders are a bright spot, beating district and state averages in all three tested subjects. Math proficiency has climbed steadily from 41.3% to 49.3% over three years. The main challenges are internal consistency: 4th-grade science lags the district by 13 points, and science overall has declined from 52.3% to 47.6% since 2022–2023. The most significant concern, however, is equity. While White students rank at the 86th percentile, African American and Hispanic students sit near the 28th–29th percentile, and low-income students are at the 7th percentile — a persistent downward trend. For a school performing at the 65th percentile overall, closing those gaps is the clearest path to continued improvement.
