Summary

Boones Creek Elementary School is a PK–8 school in Johnson City, TN, serving 823 students as part of Washington County Schools, a district rated 4 stars and ranked 30th out of 141 in Tennessee. The school itself earned 3 stars in the 2025–2026 school year, ranking 354th out of 1,019 elementary schools statewide—a step back from the previous year's 4-star, 250th-place finish.

The school's most distinctive strength is social studies, where 69.2% of students scored proficient in 2025–2026, far above the district's 58.3% and the state's 51.4%. Seventh graders were especially impressive at 85.1% proficiency. Science is also a quiet strength, with 6th and 7th grade proficiency reaching nearly 69%. The picture is more mixed in elementary grades, though: 3rd grade math proficiency was 37.8% and 5th grade ELA was 45.5%, both below district averages. Overall math proficiency (43.4%) essentially matched the state average but trailed the district's 48.9%. In short, the middle grades are outperforming the elementary grades, and math is the clearest area for improvement in the lower grades.

Compared with nearby Washington County schools, Boones Creek sits in the middle tier—below Ridgeview Elementary (82nd percentile), Sulphur Springs Elementary (79th), and Gray Elementary (78th), while ranking above Jonesborough Elementary (58th). The contrast with nearby Johnson City Schools elementaries is starker: Lake Ridge Elementary posts 80.3% math proficiency and Towne Acres Elementary 87.7%, compared with Boones Creek's 43.4%. That said, Boones Creek spends less per student ($12,765) than most comparable schools, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 16.2% is better than the district and state averages. Special education services are a genuine bright spot, ranking in the 81st percentile statewide.
