Summary

Doyle Elementary School serves 309 students in grades PK–5 in the small town of Doyle, Tennessee, and is part of the highly rated White County Schools district. The school currently holds a 4-star rating and ranks in the 73rd percentile of elementary schools statewide, making it a consistently solid choice for families in the area.

Doyle stands out for several reasons. Academically, it beats state averages in every subject — with 58.1% of students proficient in math, 58.8% in science, and 47.1% in English language arts. The school's most impressive achievement is with economically disadvantaged students, who ranked in the 98th percentile statewide — a 5-star result. Attendance is another major asset: only 7.7% of students are chronically absent, compared to 18.3% across Tennessee. Doyle also delivers these results while spending less per student ($11,236) than every comparable school in the region, outperforming higher-spending schools like Woodland Park Elementary School and Bon De Croft Elementary School.

However, there are areas of concern. Special education students at Doyle rank at the 27th percentile statewide — a 1-star rating and the school's clearest weakness. There is also notable grade-level inconsistency: the 4th-grade class performs exceptionally well, while 3rd- and 5th-grade scores trail district averages. In the local landscape, Doyle trails Findlay Elementary School and Cassville Elementary School, but outranks Northfield Elementary School, Dibrell Elementary School, and Eastside Elementary School. Overall, Doyle is a strong, efficient rural school with excellent attendance and a proven track record of lifting up students who need the most support.
