Summary

Highland Park Elementary School in Lenoir City, TN, serves 410 students in grades PK–4 and is part of Loudon County Schools, carrying a 4-star rating that places it in the 72nd percentile of Tennessee elementary schools for 2025–2026.

Highland Park's most impressive strength is how well it serves students who often struggle elsewhere. Low-income students rank in the 93rd percentile statewide, and special education students rank in the 91st percentile — both earning 5-star ratings. Math and English language arts proficiency (60.6% and 54.7%) are comfortably above district and state averages, and chronic absenteeism sits at just 10.9%, far better than the 18.3% state average. The school also delivers strong results per dollar: spending $13,346 per pupil is less than Lenoir City Elementary School ($17,711) and Steekee Elementary School ($15,594), while outperforming Loudon Elementary School and Lenoir City Elementary in most subjects. Within the district, Eaton Elementary School remains the clear leader, but Highland Park is competitive with Steekee in ELA (54.7% vs. 55.1%).

The main concern is science, where proficiency fell sharply from roughly 60% in each of the prior three years to 46.7% in 2025–2026 — below the district average and barely at the state level. Nearby Northshore Elementary School and Farragut Intermediate School post science scores in the 76–78% range. Grade-level data also show 4th graders (72.1% math proficiency) far outpacing 3rd graders (49.3%), suggesting earlier intervention could help. Overall, Highland Park is a reliable, above-average school with standout support for underserved students, but the science decline is the trend to watch.
