Summary

West View Elementary is a public elementary school in Knoxville, Tennessee, serving 202 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Knox County school district.

Despite higher spending per student and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, West View Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Tennessee elementary schools, with significantly lower proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the Knox County and Tennessee averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were just 14.3% in Mathematics, 22.2% in English Language Arts, and 19% in Science, compared to Knox County averages of 43.2%, 42.6%, and 49%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low in 3rd grade, with proficiency rates of only 5% in ELA and 30% in Mathematics. Additionally, West View Elementary has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.2% to 21.0% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the state average.

Nearby schools, such as Green Magnet Math and Science Academy, West Haven Elementary, and Pond Gap Elementary, generally perform better academically than West View Elementary, with higher proficiency rates and better rankings. However, these nearby schools also face similar challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates and serve a significant proportion of economically disadvantaged students. Addressing the complex socioeconomic factors and attendance issues may be crucial for driving meaningful improvements in student outcomes at West View Elementary.
