Summary

Cassville Elementary School in Sparta, TN, is a small rural school serving 206 students in grades PK–5 as part of White County Schools, a district ranked 17th out of 141 Tennessee districts. The school currently holds a 4-star statewide rating, ranking 217th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools (79th percentile), and has improved steadily from a 2-star rating in 2018–2019. Among nearby schools, it trails only Findlay Elementary School and sits ahead of Doyle Elementary School, Northfield Elementary School, and Woodland Park Elementary School in overall statewide ranking.

Cassville's biggest academic strengths are math and English language arts. In 2025–2026, 75% of students scored proficient in math—roughly 17 points above the district average and 32 points above the state—while 60.4% scored proficient in ELA, about 13 points above the district and 20 points above the state. Only Findlay Elementary School posted slightly better math (77.9%) and ELA (61.1%) scores among nearby schools. Cassville's 5th graders are especially strong, with 82.6% proficiency in math and 78.3% in ELA, the latter nearly 28 points above the district average. The school also stands out for its work with economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 85th–92nd percentile statewide in recent years.

Attendance is another clear strength: just 7% of students were chronically absent in 2024–2025, far below the state rate of 18.3%. With a student–teacher ratio around 14:1, the school's small size allows for more individualized attention. The one notable weakness is science, where 44.8% proficiency trails both the district (56.8%) and state (46.9%), with the gap concentrated in 3rd and 4th grades. That said, 5th-grade science (65.2%) exceeds both district and state averages. Spending of about $13,011 per student is in line with peer schools, making Cassville's results look especially efficient.
