Summary

Burchfield Elementary School serves 431 students in pre-K through 8th grade in Oneida, Tennessee, as part of Scott County Schools. The school currently ranks in the 22nd percentile statewide — 792nd out of 1,019 elementary schools — with a 1-star rating, and it trails both the district and state averages in math (29.1% proficient vs. 43.0% statewide), ELA (31.1% vs. 40.6%), and science (32.3% vs. 46.9%).

Despite those challenges, there are meaningful bright spots. Social studies is a relative strength: Burchfield's 43.0% proficiency rate actually outpaces the Scott County average of 41.7%, and 7th-grade social studies (58.3%) beats the state average. Chronic absenteeism is also notably low at 13.3% — far better than the district's 17.1%, the state's 18.3%, and nearby schools like Winfield Elementary (26.1%) and Oneida Elementary (22.7%). The school's strongest results come in middle grades, where 6th-grade ELA (48.4%) and 8th-grade ELA (43.8%) both exceed state averages. Economically disadvantaged students are the school's highest-performing subgroup, ranking in the 43rd percentile statewide.

Burchfield sits in the same district as much higher-performing schools, which highlights the gap. Fairview Elementary ranks in the 73rd percentile and Huntsville Elementary in the 71st — yet Burchfield outperforms Fairview in social studies (43.0% vs. 28.9%) and has much better attendance. The good news is that Burchfield improved in every core subject from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, including a nearly 12-point jump in ELA. Per-pupil spending has risen to $13,103, though it remains below most nearby schools. The school is still well behind state averages overall, but its recent upward trajectory and strong attendance provide a foundation to build on.
