Summary

Frazier Elementary School is a K-5 elementary school in Dayton, TN, serving 304 students as part of Rhea County Schools, a district that ranks in the top quarter of Tennessee school districts. The school consistently outperforms both district and state averages across all core subjects: in 2025–2026, 57.2% of students scored proficient in math, 50.7% in English language arts, and 57.9% in science. Frazier currently ranks in the 75th percentile statewide with a 4-star rating, and over the past decade it has reliably landed in the upper quarter of Tennessee elementary schools, including a strong rebound after a brief dip in 2024–2025.

The school's most impressive highlight is third-grade math, where 78.6% of students scored proficient—36 points above the state average and far ahead of nearby schools like Spring City Elementary School (38.3%), Rhea Central Elementary School (42.4%), Graysville Elementary School (44.4%), and Dayton City Elementary School (32.0%). Frazier also outpaces Dayton City Elementary, located less than four miles away, in every tested subject. Attendance is another standout: just 9.3% of Frazier students are chronically absent, compared with 15.6% for the district and 18.3% statewide. Only Rhea Central Elementary School (9.1%) and Meigs South Elementary School (9.2%) come close among nearby peers.

Frazier also achieves strong results for students who often face the biggest hurdles. Economically disadvantaged students ranked in the 92nd percentile statewide with a 5-star rating in 2025–2026, and special education students ranked in the 77th percentile. The school does this while spending less per pupil ($14,360) than most neighboring schools—Graysville spends over $1,800 more per student yet posts proficiency rates roughly 13–14 points lower. The main area to watch is the upper grades: math proficiency drops from 78.6% in third grade to 38.9% in fifth grade, falling below district and state averages. If Frazier can address that grade-level slide while preserving its attendance advantage and support for low-income students, it has the potential to climb back into the 80th-plus percentile range where it has historically lived.
