Pigeon Forge Intermediate School

Public Grades 4-6

Summary

Pigeon Forge Intermediate School is a small school in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, serving 375 students in grades 4 through 6 as part of Sevier County Schools. The school's academic proficiency generally trails both the district and state averages in math (37.5% proficient), English language arts (30.9%), and science (40.8%), but it exceeds the district in social studies (43.0% vs. 40.7%).

One of the school's biggest strengths is attendance. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 16.8% is the lowest among all Sevier County intermediate and junior high schools, and it is the only school in the area that beats the state average of 18.3%. By comparison, Seymour Intermediate School has a rate of 23.2%, Sevierville Intermediate School 24.3%, and Northview Intermediate School 29.6%. Sixth graders at PFIS also shine in science, with 49.6% proficiency—above both the district (45.9%) and state (48.0%). Social studies has shown remarkable improvement, jumping from 34.5% to 43.0% in a single year.

However, there are concerns. Fifth graders at PFIS show a dramatic slump across every subject, particularly in ELA, where only 22.5% are proficient—roughly 14 points below the district and 20 points below the state. The school also spends more per student ($16,453) than any other intermediate school in the district, yet Seymour Intermediate School spends nearly $2,000 less per student and outperforms PFIS by double digits in every subject. Additionally, the feeder pattern raises worries: Pigeon Forge Junior High School, located just 0.68 miles away, carries a 1-star rating and very low proficiency rates, suggesting academic struggles may persist beyond 6th grade.
