991^st

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,019 Tennessee Elementary Schools

Better than 3% of Tennessee elementary schools

Summary

Maynard Elementary School is a very small PK–5 school in Knoxville, TN, serving just 109 students as part of Knox County Schools, and it has long ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Tennessee. In the 2025–2026 school year, the school ranked 991st out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools, placing it in the 3rd percentile with zero stars. Proficiency rates are dramatically below district and state averages in every subject: math at 9.8% compared to Knox County's 45.0%, English language arts at 15.7% compared to 44.7%, and science at 15.7% compared to 50.9%.

One of the most striking findings is that Maynard spends far more money than neighboring schools without achieving better results. At $31,985 per student, Maynard's spending is roughly double that of Beaumont Elementary/Magnet School ($15,438) and South Knox Elementary School ($17,958), yet both of those schools produce far stronger academic outcomes. Maynard also maintains a very low student–teacher ratio of about 7:1, meaning classes are small and staffing is generous, but these resources have not translated into proficiency for most students.

Chronic absenteeism remains a serious concern, with about one in four Maynard students (24.8%) missing enough school to be considered chronically absent in 2024–2025, though that is an improvement from 34.3% the year before. Nearby schools show what is possible: South Knox Elementary, less than two miles away, ranks in the 85th percentile with 65.1% math proficiency — roughly six times Maynard's score — and Emerald Academy, the closest school at just a third of a mile, posts substantially higher scores too. There are small signs of fragile improvement at Maynard, including ELA proficiency rising from 8.3% to 15.7%, but the school remains in the bottom 3% of Tennessee elementary schools.
