Summary

Park View School is a PK-4 elementary school serving 416 students in Cookeville, Tennessee, within the Putnam County Schools district. The school holds a 3-star rating and ranks 340th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools, placing it in the 67th percentile. Park View's most notable feature is its improvement story — the school ranked in the bottom quartile with 1-star ratings from 2014-2019, but has climbed to a stable, above-median position since 2020-21, reaching its best ranking ever in 2025-26.

Park View shows several notable strengths. Its work with economically disadvantaged students is exceptional, with low-SES students ranking in the 77th percentile statewide — higher than the school's overall ranking. Chronic absenteeism is well below district and state averages and improving each year. Per-pupil spending has risen 23% over four years to $15,140, surpassing nearby Capshaw Elementary School ($13,284), Prescott South Elementary School ($12,811), and Algood Elementary School ($14,165). Academically, Park View exceeds state averages in all core subjects, with 56.1% math proficiency versus 43% statewide. Science proficiency took a dramatic jump from 40.7% to 50.8% in one year, now exceeding both district and state averages.

The main challenges are concentrated in two areas. Park View's 4th-grade math proficiency is 44.8% — nearly 23 points below the district average. Nearby schools like Capshaw Elementary School and Northeast Elementary School show strength in math from 3rd to 4th grade, but Park View shows a sharp decline. There's also a consistent gap between male students, ranking in the 69th-76th percentile, and female students, ranking near the 50th percentile. Addressing these two issues could propel Park View into the upper tier of Putnam County elementary schools.
