Summary

Wearwood Elementary School is a small PK–6 school in Sevierville, Tennessee, serving 187 students as part of the Sevier County Schools district. In the 2025–2026 school year, Wearwood Elementary School ranked 302nd out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools — the 70th percentile with a 4-star rating — a remarkable jump from the previous year's 44th percentile ranking and a major improvement from its 1-star rating in 2018–2019.

What makes Wearwood stand out most is its extraordinary success with students from low-income families: the school ranked #1 out of 823 schools statewide for its low-socioeconomic-status students, earning a 5-star rating in that category. Chronic absenteeism is another bright spot — at just 10.9%, it's roughly half the district average and far below the 35.1% rate at Pigeon Forge Primary School. The school also builds a strong early foundation, with 3rd graders posting 66.7% proficiency in math, ELA, and science — far outpacing nearby schools like Seymour Primary School (37.9% math) and Sevierville Elementary School (33.8% math). Sixth-grade science is another highlight at 68.2% proficiency versus the state's 48.0%.

In core subjects, Wearwood now beats its district and the state in math, ELA, and science, and its $20,606 per-student spending is higher than most nearby schools — comparable to high-performing Catons Chapel Elementary School and well above the $14,487 spent at Seymour Primary School. The main challenge is social studies, where 36.4% proficiency trails the state's 51.4% and has been volatile year to year. Catons Chapel posts higher overall test scores, but Wearwood counters with dramatically better attendance and its statewide #1 ranking for low-income students. With a low 14.3 student-teacher ratio and steady academic gains, this small school offers Sevierville families a strong and increasingly compelling option.
