Summary

Oneida Elementary School serves 756 students in grades PK-5 in Oneida, Tennessee, and is part of the Oneida Special School District. Over the past five years, the school's statewide ranking has declined steadily from the 69th percentile in 2020-2021 to the 25th percentile in 2025-2026, when it ranked 767th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools. Proficiency rates currently trail state averages across all three major subjects: math (33.4% vs. 43.0% statewide), ELA (33.9% vs. 40.6%), and science (32.2% vs. 46.9%). At 756 students, the school is also the largest elementary school in the immediate area — nearly twice the size of Burchfield Elementary School, the next-largest local school.

The school's early-grade results are a particular concern. Only 19.1% of third graders are proficient in math, compared with 42.6% statewide, and 27.4% are proficient in ELA, versus 44.9% statewide. By fifth grade, however, there is a genuine bright spot: 46.4% of fifth graders are proficient in ELA, which is above the state average of 42.7% and well ahead of nearby schools like Burchfield Elementary School (25.0%), Robbins Elementary School (31.0%), and Winfield Elementary School (25.0%). Chronic absenteeism is another major challenge: 22.7% of students were chronically absent in 2024-2025, above the state average of 18.3% and higher than every nearby school except Winfield.

Per-pupil spending at Oneida has grown sharply, from $10,230 in 2021-2022 to $15,126 in 2024-2025 — the third-highest among local schools — yet results have not followed. Nearby schools show that stronger outcomes are possible in the same region: Fairview Elementary School ranks in the 73rd percentile statewide, and Huntsville Elementary School has jumped to the 71st percentile, while Oneida has fallen to the 25th. The district will need to examine what's driving the decline, including why female students rank in the bottom quarter statewide while male students rank near the middle, and why special education outcomes dropped from the 55th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 16th percentile in 2024-2025.
