Summary

Dyllis Springs Elementary School serves 324 students in grades PK through 5 in Oliver Springs, Tennessee, as part of Roane County Schools. Over the past decade, it has transformed from a below-average school into a clear standout, ranking 167th out of 1,019 elementary schools statewide (84th percentile, 4-star rating). As recently as 2014-15, the school sat in the 31st percentile with a 2-star rating, making this a sustained turnaround rather than a one-year fluke.

Dyllis Springs is especially strong in math and science. In 2025-26, 68.3% of students scored proficient in math, above the district rate of 47.1% and the state rate of 43%. Science proficiency reached 64.1%, far exceeding district (52.1%) and state (46.9%) averages. English Language Arts is the relative weak spot at 50% proficiency, though still above district (40.5%) and state (40.6%) averages. The school holds its own against more affluent nearby schools: it outperforms Norwood Elementary School, less than two miles away in Anderson County Schools, by more than 25 percentage points in math and science. It also matches or beats several Oak Ridge Schools like Glenwood Elementary School in key subjects, while spending less per student.

One distinctive feature of Dyllis Springs is its success with students who often face achievement gaps. The school ranks 63rd out of 823 Tennessee schools for economically disadvantaged students (92nd percentile, 5 stars) and 84th out of 641 for special education students (87th percentile, 4 stars). It is also cost-efficient, spending $14,981 per student. Areas to watch include ELA scores, which lag behind math and science, chronic absenteeism volatility (14.8% in 2024-25, down from 22.3% in 2022-23), and 5th-grade science at 48.8%, below the district average. If ELA rises to match STEM results, Dyllis Springs could become a top-100 school statewide.
