Summary

Ridgeview Elementary School, located in Gray, TN, is a PK-8 school serving 704 students in the highly-rated Washington County Schools district. Academically, Ridgeview is a top performer. It holds a 4-star rating and ranked 184th out of 1,019 schools in the state (82nd percentile) in 2025-2026, placing it ahead of all other Washington County schools in its comparison group. It exceeds both district and state averages in math, ELA, science, and social studies, making it the strongest all-around school in its district.

One of Ridgeview's biggest strengths is its accelerated middle school math program. Students taking Algebra I have posted proficiency rates between 83% and 94% in recent years, compared to a districtwide average of just 32-33%. The school also stands out for its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism, with only 8.9% of students chronically absent in 2024-2025, roughly half the district and state averages (17.3% and 18.3%, respectively). This is the lowest rate among nearby Washington County schools like Jonesborough Elementary School (22.9%) and Boones Creek Elementary School. Per-student spending has also risen steadily to $13,598, which is higher than some peers like Gray Elementary School ($13,409) but lower than Sulphur Springs Elementary School ($14,826).

While Ridgeview's overall performance is strong, there are a few specific areas parents might want to inquire about. The school saw a puzzling dip in 4th-grade math, where proficiency fell to 40.5%, below the state average, before jumping to 69% in 5th grade. Similarly, 8th-grade ELA proficiency sits at 40%, much lower than the 60% proficiency seen in 6th and 7th grades. A more significant red flag is the sharp decline in outcomes for special education students, dropping from the 87th percentile statewide in 2023-2024 to the 32nd percentile in 2024-2025 and 2025-2026. When compared to high-performing schools in neighboring districts, Ridgeview's math and ELA scores are comparable to Miller Perry Elementary School and Rock Springs Elementary School, though schools like Lake Ridge Elementary School and John Adams Elementary School post higher overall proficiency numbers. However, those are K-5 schools, whereas Ridgeview's ability to serve students through 8th grade offers a unique structural advantage.
