Summary

Vonore Elementary is a public elementary school serving 352 students in grades PK-4 in Vonore, Tennessee, which is part of the Monroe County School District. While the school spends more per student than the state average, its academic performance is generally below state and county averages across key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism.

Vonore Elementary's test scores lag behind the state in Math, ELA, and Science, with particularly weak performance in ELA. The school's 3rd and 4th grade students perform better than the overall school in Math and Science, but still trail the state average. Chronic absenteeism is also a significant concern, with rates ranging from 10.4% to 22.1% over the past few years, well above the state average. Interestingly, the school's Hispanic students and special education students perform relatively better than the overall student population.

Compared to nearby schools in the Blount County and Loudon County districts, Vonore Elementary lags behind in key metrics like Math, ELA, and Science proficiency. Schools like Friendsville Elementary, Carpenters Elementary, and Philadelphia Elementary all outperform Vonore Elementary, suggesting the need for the school to identify and address the root causes of its underperformance.

Principal allows teachers to let their personal lives interfere with their teaching of our students. For Example: Third grade teacher is allowed to politically and financially promote her side job of coaching a cheerleader team. This makes our Vonore girls feel bad (as they are not and don’t want to be cheerleaders) Concerns brought to Principal went nowhere, This is a serious conflict of interest for this teacher—going to the school board next Close Quote
