Summary

Maynard Elementary is a public elementary school in Knoxville, Tennessee, serving grades PK-5 with 124 students. It is part of the Knox County school district, which is ranked 77 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Maynard Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Tennessee elementary schools, with proficiency rates in TNReady Math, English Language Arts, and Science that are significantly lower than the Knox County and Tennessee state averages across all grade levels. The school also struggles to effectively serve its student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 50% of Tennessee elementary schools for Female, Male, African American, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. Additionally, Maynard Elementary has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.9% to 34.3% in recent years, which are significantly above the district and state averages.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Dogwood Elementary, Belle Morris Elementary, and Christenberry Elementary, generally perform better academically than Maynard Elementary, with higher proficiency rates and better rankings. Despite Maynard Elementary's higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools, these factors do not seem to translate to better outcomes, indicating that the school may need to re-evaluate how it allocates its resources to support student learning more effectively.
