Summary:
Zip code 37615 in northeast Tennessee is served by Washington County Schools, a 4-star district ranked 30th out of 141 in the state, and includes four schools: Daniel Boone High School and three PK-8 elementary schools — Boones Creek Elementary School, Ridgeview Elementary School, and Gray Elementary School — with no standalone middle school.
Ridgeview Elementary School is the clear academic standout among the elementary schools, ranking in the 82nd percentile statewide and beating both district and state averages in every subject, while also posting the lowest chronic absenteeism rate (8.9%) and the highest per-student spending ($13,598). Gray Elementary School is the most consistent, improving from the 73rd to 78th percentile over three years with strong 8th-grade scores, though it shows a dip in 7th-grade math and science. Boones Creek Elementary School has an exceptional social studies program (69.2% proficient, including 85.1% in 7th grade) but saw its overall rank fall from the 75th to 65th percentile due to below-district math scores.
Daniel Boone High School graduates students at a remarkable 97.2% rate with a 1.7% dropout rate, yet it struggles with chronic absenteeism (25.3%) and foundational math courses, where Algebra I and Geometry proficiency trail state averages. The school performs much better in U.S. History, English, and Algebra II. Because all three elementary schools serve PK-8, middle-grade students are clustered inside elementary buildings, which may explain some grade-level performance swings. Overall, this is a strong, above-average cluster of schools where even the lower performers generally meet or exceed state averages.
