Summary

Linden Elementary is a public elementary school located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, serving grades K-4 with a total enrollment of 525 students. The school is part of the highly-ranked Oak Ridge school district, which is ranked 13th out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Linden Elementary consistently ranks among the top 100 elementary schools in Tennessee, with a ranking of 94 out of 1,009 schools in the 2024-2025 school year. The school's academic performance is significantly higher than the state and district averages across all subject areas and grade levels, particularly in English Language Arts and Science. Linden Elementary also performs exceptionally well across different student subgroups, including female students, male students, African American students, white students, special education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

While Linden Elementary outperforms nearby Glenwood Elementary and Woodland Elementary schools in the Oak Ridge district, some nearby schools, such as Hardin Valley Elementary in the Knox County district, also demonstrate strong academic performance. Linden Elementary's high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio may contribute to its exceptional results, though the school's chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 6.5% to 20.2%, are an area of concern that may impact its overall performance.
