Summary

Rogers Creek Elementary is a public elementary school located in Athens, Tennessee, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 278 students. The school is part of the McMinn County School District, which is ranked 51 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rogers Creek Elementary has shown mixed academic performance, with its statewide ranking ranging from 403 to 704 out of 1,000-1,020 Tennessee elementary schools. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked 503 out of 1,009 Tennessee elementary schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. While the school has generally performed better in mathematics compared to the district and state, its English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates have been more variable, sometimes lagging behind. The school has also shown disparities in performance among different student subgroups, with female and white students outperforming the overall student population. However, the school has performed exceptionally well for students with special education needs and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

One concerning trend at Rogers Creek Elementary is the significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 13.8% in 2020-2021 to 20.2% in 2022-2023, which is much higher than the state's average. When compared to nearby schools, such as Calhoun Elementary and Riceville Elementary in the McMinn County district, as well as schools outside the district like Frazier Elementary and Charleston Elementary, Rogers Creek Elementary generally performs on par or slightly better in mathematics and science, but lags behind in ELA.
