Summary

West View Elementary School in Knoxville, TN, serves 204 students in grades PK–5 and is part of Knox County Schools, a district ranked 78th out of 141 in Tennessee. The school itself is low-performing: in the 2025–2026 school year it ranked in the 13th percentile among Tennessee elementary schools with 1 star. That said, this is an improvement from recent years, when West View sat in the 4th and 7th percentiles.

Academically, West View trails district and state averages by wide margins in every subject. Proficiency rates sit at 24.1% in math (vs. 43% statewide), 18.1% in English language arts (vs. 40.6%), and 27.7% in science (vs. 46.9%). The school performs roughly on par with nearby West Haven Elementary School, Pond Gap Elementary School, and Lonsdale Elementary School, and it outperforms Green Magnet Math And Science Academy and Maynard Elementary School. The contrast with Sequoyah Elementary School, just over two miles away, is stark: Sequoyah is a top-20 school in Tennessee with proficiency above 82%, despite spending about $7,500 less per student.

The most concerning trouble spots are 4th-grade reading (11.1% proficient) and 5th-grade math (13.3%), along with a persistent achievement gap for male students, who rank in the bottom 5–10% statewide. On the positive side, math proficiency has nearly tripled in four years (from 8.6% to 24.1%), science has improved, and chronic absenteeism — while slightly above the state average at 20.6% — is better than at several neighboring schools. Still, West View spends about $19,643 per student, among the highest in the area, and those resources have not yet translated into competitive results. The path forward will require a renewed focus on literacy and support for male students.
