Summary

Sarah Moore Greene Magnet Technology Academy is an elementary school in Knoxville, TN, serving 517 students in grades PK–5 as part of Knox County Schools. Despite its "Magnet Technology Academy" designation, the school has been a persistent low performer for over a decade. In 2025–2026, it ranked 976th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools, placing it in the 4th percentile with a 0-star rating. Test proficiency rates lag dramatically behind district and state averages: only 14.2% of students are proficient in math, 15.1% in English Language Arts, and 17.4% in science. By comparison, Knox County Schools averages 45% proficient in math and 44.7% in ELA.

The proficiency gaps are substantial — roughly 25 to 34 percentage points below state averages in every tested subject. Chronic absenteeism, while improved from 38% in 2021–2022 to 21.2% in 2024–2025, remains above district and state averages. The school spends approximately $17,881 per student, which is more than several nearby schools that achieve far better results. Notably, 5th grade ELA proficiency collapses to just 6.7%, compared to 22.1% in 4th grade, suggesting older students may be falling further behind, particularly in literacy.

Perhaps most striking is the contrast with nearby schools. South Knox Elementary School, less than 3 miles away, posts 65.1% math proficiency — more than four times higher — while Chilhowee Intermediate School and Emerald Academy also outpace Sarah Moore Greene by wide margins. Even the similarly low-performing Green Magnet Math And Science Academy ranks at the 3rd percentile, showing that the magnet label does not guarantee success in this cluster. While Sarah Moore Greene has shown modest absolute gains in recent years, its statewide percentile actually slipped in 2025–2026, meaning it is not keeping pace with improvements across the rest of Tennessee.
