Summary

Ridge View Elementary School in Rockwood, TN, serves 577 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Roane County Schools district. While the school is located in a region with several strong educational options, its own recent performance places it in the lower third of elementary schools statewide.

In the 2025–2026 school year, Ridge View ranked 716th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools, earning a 1-star rating at the 30th percentile. This continues a troubling three-year decline from a 3-star rating in 2022–2023. Proficiency rates in every core subject trail both the district and state averages, with math at 34.3%, ELA at 32.5%, and science at 40.3%. The gaps are largest in math, where the school lags its district by nearly 13 percentage points. Nearby schools demonstrate that this level of performance is not inevitable. Kingston Elementary and Midway Elementary both earn 4-star ratings and far exceed Ridge View in math proficiency (55.2% and 58.6%, respectively). Even Midtown Elementary, spending more per student, outperforms Ridge View in every subject tested.

One positive highlight is the 4th grade, where students perform near district and state averages in science and math, suggesting a possible area of instructional strength worth replicating. Chronic absenteeism stands at 16.1%, higher than the three highest-performing nearby schools, which all stay below 12%. Spending does not appear to be the issue: at $13,364 per student, Ridge View spends more than Crab Orchard Elementary, a higher-performing school just a few miles away. The school has shown it can improve, having climbed from the 11th percentile in 2016–2017 to the 50th percentile by 2022–2023. However, reversing the recent multi-year decline will likely require focused attention on attendance, learning from the 4th grade success, and raising academic performance overall.
