Summary:

Zip code 37367, serving the Pikeville, Tennessee area, is home to three elementary schools — Pikeville Elementary School, Mary V Wheeler Elementary School, and Cecil B Rigsby Elementary School — all serving grades PK-5 and belonging to the Bledsoe County Schools district, which holds a 2-star rating and ranks 80th of 141 districts in Tennessee. Enrollment varies widely, with Pikeville Elementary (383 students) more than twice the size of Cecil B Rigsby (176 students).

Mary V Wheeler Elementary School is the clear academic leader, ranking 442nd of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools (57th percentile, 3 stars) and topping the zip code in math (50.5% proficient) and ELA (49.5%). It also has the lowest chronic absenteeism (12.3%) and the lowest per-student spending ($15,664), proving efficiency and strong results can go together. Cecil B Rigsby Elementary School is the most improved, jumping from the 30th to the 53rd percentile in state rankings with a +10-point ELA gain and the highest science proficiency in the area (43.8%). Pikeville Elementary School is the biggest concern: despite spending the most per student ($17,416), it ranks in the bottom third (34th percentile, 2 stars) and saw sharp declines in math (-9.1 points) and science (-10.8 points) proficiency.

Several patterns stand out. Smaller schools outperform larger ones, and 4th grade is a consistent bright spot across all three schools, exceeding all-grades averages in every subject. However, 3rd-grade math is a major weakness — especially at Pikeville, where only 17.6% of 3rd graders are proficient versus 42.6% statewide — and 5th-grade ELA and science drop sharply at both Pikeville and Cecil B Rigsby. Spending does not predict performance, and attendance is a relative strength, with all three schools below the state's 18.3% chronic absenteeism rate. For parents, Mary V Wheeler Elementary School offers the strongest academics, Cecil B Rigsby Elementary School shows clear upward momentum, and Pikeville Elementary School warrants closer attention given its recent decline.
