Summary

Maynardville Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Maynardville, Tennessee, serving 366 students as part of Union County Schools. The school currently holds a 1-star rating and ranks in the 17th percentile of Tennessee elementary schools. Academically, Maynardville trails the state by wide margins in every subject: just 22.8% of students are proficient in math compared to 43% statewide, 30.7% in ELA versus 40.6% statewide, and 29.6% in science versus 46.9% statewide.

What makes Maynardville stand out is how it compares to other schools in the same district. While Union County Schools is a low-performing district overall, three other elementary schools — Big Ridge Elementary School, Paulette Elementary School, and Sharps Chapel Elementary School — all rank near the 50th percentile statewide. Maynardville and Luttrell Elementary School sit at the bottom; Big Ridge, for example, posts 41.8% math proficiency compared to Maynardville's 22.8%. Maynardville also has the highest chronic absenteeism rate in the district at 25.2%, meaning roughly one in four students is chronically absent, while higher-performing nearby schools like Corryton Elementary School (11.3%), Halls Elementary School (13.3%), and Gibbs Elementary School (14.0%) have far lower rates. At the same time, Maynardville spends $17,769 per student — more than Halls ($14,048), Corryton ($15,264), and Gibbs ($13,044), all of which outperform it.

On a more encouraging note, Maynardville's 3rd grade ELA scores (37.3% proficient) are well above the district average, though that strength fades by 4th and 5th grade. The school's low-income students also showed notable improvement in the latest year. However, there has been no sustained upward trend over the past decade — the school has never risen above the 30th percentile in available data. The key takeaway is that Maynardville faces significant challenges, but the success of other Union County schools with similar students shows there is meaningful room for improvement. Improving attendance and building on early literacy strengths would be high-leverage places to start.
