Summary

Greenback School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in Greenback, Tennessee, part of the Loudon County School District, which is ranked 42nd out of 139 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. With 684 students, Greenback School stands out for its consistently high 4-year graduation rates, ranging from 86.5% to 95.0% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. However, the school's dropout rates, while relatively low, ranging from 1.7% to 8.1%, are higher than the state average.

Academically, Greenback School's test scores on the TNReady assessments are generally lower than the Loudon County and Tennessee state averages across most subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, Greenback School's proficiency rates in Mathematics (47.4%) and English Language Arts (38.6%) for all grades are below the county (50.9% and 44.2%) and state (42.2% and 38.9%) averages. Interestingly, Greenback School's performance is also lower than the nearby alternative schools in the Blount County and Maryville school districts, such as Eagleton College and Career Academy, Samuel Everett School of Innovation, and Maryville Junior High School, which have higher test scores and graduation rates.

Despite the increased spending per student at Greenback School, from $10,769 in 2020-2021 to $12,939 in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average, this additional funding has not yet translated into improved academic outcomes. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.5 also suggests that class sizes are not a major factor contributing to the school's performance. Further investigation into factors like student demographics and school climate may be warranted to understand the drivers of Greenback School's academic performance.
