Summary

Paulette Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Maynardville, Tennessee, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 364 students. The school is part of the Union County School District, which is ranked 124 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Paulette Elementary consistently performs below the state and county averages in TNReady assessments for Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 39.5% in Mathematics, 42% in English Language Arts, and 42.7% in Science, compared to the state averages of 42.2%, 38.9%, and 46.1%, respectively. The school's performance has been stagnant, with little improvement over the past few years. Interestingly, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with female students generally outperforming male students, and white students and special education students performing below their peers.

Despite the school's increased spending per student, from $10,984 in 2021-2022 to $16,275 in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average, Paulette Elementary's academic performance has not shown significant improvement. The school's high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.6% to 20.2% over the past few years, may be contributing to the overall academic underperformance. Compared to nearby schools, such as Big Ridge Elementary, which consistently outperforms Paulette Elementary, the school faces significant challenges in improving its academic outcomes.
