Summary

Bon De Croft Elementary School is a small PK-5 school in Sparta, Tennessee, serving just 170 students within White County Schools, a district ranked 17th out of 141 Tennessee districts. For 2025-2026, the school earned a 3-star rating and ranked 363rd out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools (64th percentile) — a solid, above-state-average result. Bon De Croft beats state averages in math (56.8% vs. 43.0%), English language arts (44.4% vs. 40.6%), and science (51.9% vs. 46.9%), though it trails its own district in all three subjects.

Families should know that this school has some genuine hidden strengths. Its economically disadvantaged students ranked in the 93rd percentile statewide (5 stars) in 2025-2026, an exceptional result that suggests targeted support is working well. Special education students also ranked in the 97th percentile in 2023-2024, though this number has been volatile from year to year due to the small number of students in this group. Chronic absenteeism is remarkably low at 7.4%, far below district and state averages, which means students are consistently in class and ready to learn. The school's overall state ranking has also climbed for two straight years, from the 54th to the 64th percentile.

The clearest area for improvement is 3rd grade, where math and ELA proficiency were just 26.9% in 2025-2026 — well below the district's 58.0% and 50.7% in those subjects. By contrast, 5th-grade math proficiency reached 81.3%, among the strongest results in the area. Bon De Croft also spends more per student ($14,653) than any other White County elementary school, yet nearby Findlay Elementary School spends less and ranks in the 91st percentile. With only 170 students, small grade-level cohorts can cause big year-to-year swings, so it's wise to look at multi-year trends rather than any single year's results.
