Summary

Lenoir City Elementary School serves 559 students in pre-kindergarten through 3rd grade in Lenoir City, Tennessee, as part of the Lenoir City Schools district. The school made a dramatic leap in the most recent school year, jumping from the 25th percentile (1 star) to the 61st percentile (3 stars) statewide — its best ranking in a decade. With a student-teacher ratio of 14.1:1 and per-student spending of $17,711, the school invests more per student than any nearby school, including Eaton Elementary School, which spends about $12,517.

Academically, the school's 3rd graders shine in math and science, with 57.7% and 48.1% proficiency respectively, both above state averages. However, reading is a significant concern: only 34.6% of 3rd graders scored proficient in ELA, the lowest among all comparable nearby schools and well below the state average of 44.9%. Nearby Highland Park Elementary School posted 52.2% ELA proficiency, and Eaton Elementary School reached 72.4%. This gap suggests that while math and science instruction are clear strengths, early literacy is the school's most pressing challenge.

There is encouraging news for equity-minded parents. Students from low-income families ranked in the 94th percentile statewide in the latest school year, a remarkable turnaround from the 13th percentile just two years earlier. Hispanic students and students receiving special education services also showed strong improvement. Chronic absenteeism sits at 14.3%, better than the state average of 18.3%, though it has been trending upward. If the school can translate its math gains into reading improvements, Lenoir City Elementary School appears well-positioned for sustained success.
