Summary

Maynardville Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Maynardville, Tennessee, part of the Union County School District. With 383 students, the school has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom half of Tennessee elementary schools and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Maynardville Elementary struggles across key metrics, including test scores, chronic absenteeism, and spending per student. On the 2024-2025 TNReady assessments, only 22.2% of Maynardville students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 42.2% statewide and 19.2% in Union County. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.6% to 22.4% over the past few years. Despite spending more per student ($16,767 in 2023-2024) than the state average, these investments have not translated into improved academic outcomes.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Halls Elementary, East Knox Elementary, and Sharps Chapel Elementary, Maynardville Elementary is an underperforming outlier, with lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism. The school's struggles are particularly pronounced across subgroups, with female, male, white, and low socioeconomic status students all ranking in the bottom quarter of their respective statewide subgroups. Despite consistent funding and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Maynardville Elementary has not shown meaningful improvement in its performance over the past several years, suggesting deeper systemic issues that need to be addressed.

Maynardville Elementary is among the best. My son attended MES and the staff is excellent. Teachers attend professional development. The improvements that MES teachers and principal have made are amazing. Close Quote
