Summary

Jasper Elementary School serves about 650 students in pre-kindergarten through 4th grade in Jasper, Tennessee, and is part of Marion County Schools. The school currently holds a 2-star rating and ranks in the 45th percentile statewide, placing it solidly in the middle of Tennessee elementary schools after a difficult stretch in the early 2020s when it dropped to 1-star status. Since then, Jasper has shown steady recovery, climbing from the 27th percentile in 2022–2023 to the mid-40s over the last three years.

Reading is Jasper’s clear strength. In 2025–2026, English language arts proficiency was 49.3% — well above the district average of 35.4% and the state average of 40.6%. Jasper outperformed every same-district peer, including Whitwell Elementary (46.3%) and South Pittsburg Elementary (31.9%). Math and science tell a different story: both subjects sit at 39.1% proficiency, above the district but below the state, and Jasper has lagged the state in these areas every year on record. Science in particular has been inconsistent, though it has improved substantially since 2022–2023.

A few other findings stand out. Economically disadvantaged students at Jasper rank around the 60th percentile statewide — stronger than the school’s overall rank — while special education students rank much lower, near the 22nd percentile. Chronic absenteeism is the highest among same-district elementary schools at 20.3%, though it has improved from 25% two years ago. Jasper also spends the least per student ($11,456) among nearby schools, yet it outperforms higher-spending schools like Red Bank Elementary and Lookout Valley Elementary in Hamilton County. Overall, Jasper is one of the stronger elementary schools in Marion County, with a notable edge in reading and a clear opportunity to improve in math, science, and attendance.

My daughter was enrolled for a short time, however we pulled her out. Her class was still doing letter identification in 2nd grade if that gives you an idea of how far behind students are on average. Close Quote
