Summary

Sevierville Elementary School is a small, specialized school in Sevierville, Tennessee, serving 526 students in just 2nd and 3rd grades as part of Sevier County Schools, a district ranked in the lower-middle range statewide at 93rd out of 141 districts. The school's own ranking has been volatile: it dipped to the 22nd percentile in 2024-2025, then recovered to the 32nd percentile in 2025-2026 — an improvement, but still below its 40th-percentile showing in 2023-2024 and below the statewide median. Because the school serves just these two grades, its test scores essentially reflect 3rd grade performance, making this a critical checkpoint for reading and math as students prepare to move on to upper elementary schools.

There are genuine bright spots worth noting. Chronic absenteeism dropped dramatically from 23.6% to just 12.9% — far better than the district average of 23.2% and the state average of 18.3%, and better than nearby schools like Pigeon Forge Primary School (35.1%), Northview Primary School (25.6%), and Boyds Creek Elementary School (21.1%). The school also shows relative strength with economically disadvantaged students, who ranked at the 63rd percentile statewide in 2025-2026, up from 59th the prior year. This suggests the school is doing meaningful work supporting students from low-income backgrounds.

Academically, however, the school trails its district and the state in every tested subject: 33.8% proficient in math versus 41.6% district and 43.0% state; 33.5% in English Language Arts versus 36.1% and 40.6%; and 37.6% in science versus 43.2% and 46.9%. There are also serious warning signs for English language learners, whose performance collapsed from the 53rd to the 5th percentile in a single year, and for special education students, who dropped from the 50th to 25th percentile. Spending is moderate at about $15,500 per student, and nearby schools vary widely — Catons Chapel Elementary School ranks in the 92nd percentile while Pigeon Forge Primary School sits near Sevierville at the 27th. Overall, this is a recovering school with strong attendance and equity strengths, but clear academic challenges remain.
