Summary

Seymour Primary is an elementary school located in Seymour, Tennessee, serving grades K-3 with a total enrollment of 660 students. It is part of the Sevier County School District, which is ranked 96 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Seymour Primary has consistently outperformed the Sevier County and Tennessee state averages in proficiency rates for Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science across all grades and school years. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Seymour Primary's proficiency rates were 48.2% in Mathematics, 43.4% in English Language Arts, and 46.4% in Science, compared to the Sevier County averages of 39.5%, 33.6%, and 41.9%, respectively. The school's performance for male students and low socioeconomic status students is also noteworthy, ranking 180 out of 984 and 244 out of 843 Tennessee elementary schools, respectively, in the 2024-2025 school year, with a 4-star rating for both.

While Seymour Primary generally outperforms its nearby counterparts, such as Pigeon Forge Primary and Northview Primary, the presence of Boyds Creek Elementary School, which has shown exceptional performance in some areas, suggests that there may be opportunities for Seymour Primary to learn from and collaborate with other high-performing schools in the region. Additionally, the increase in spending per student and the maintenance of a relatively low student-teacher ratio at Seymour Primary may have contributed to the school's academic success.
