Summary

Woodland Park Elementary School in Sparta, TN is a PK-5 school serving 509 students, making it the largest elementary school in White County Schools. The district ranks 17th out of 141 Tennessee districts (88th percentile, 4 stars), and the school currently ranks 368th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools (64th percentile, 3 stars). Woodland Park exceeds state averages in all three tested subjects — math (52.1% vs. 43.0% statewide), ELA (46.8% vs. 40.6%), and science (48.9% vs. 46.9%) — though it trails district averages in math and science.

Woodland Park currently ranks last among White County's six elementary schools. Nearby Findlay Elementary School, just over three miles away, is a 5-star school at the 91st percentile, outperforming Woodland Park by roughly 26 points in math, 14 points in ELA, and 21 points in science. Chronic absenteeism stands at 13.1%, nearly double the rates at nearby schools like Findlay (7.9%), Northfield Elementary School (6.8%), and Cassville Elementary School (7.0%). Per-pupil spending of $13,143 is in line with district peers, so funding differences don't explain the gap.

The school has genuine bright spots. It ranks in the 73rd percentile for low-income students, suggesting strong effectiveness with economically disadvantaged children. Overall academic performance has improved dramatically — ELA proficiency has risen nearly 18 points since 2022-2023, and math has risen 16 points. However, special education outcomes remain a concern, ranking in the 28th percentile statewide (up from the 5th percentile in 2023-2024). Grade-level data shows 3rd grade math is strong (56.9% proficient) while 5th grade math lags (44.8% vs. 64.9% district). Reducing chronic absenteeism and closing the special education gap would go a long way toward helping Woodland Park reach the level of its highest-performing neighbors.
