Summary:

Zip code 37620 in Bristol, TN is home to 7 elementary schools serving grades PK-5 or K-5, including 6 brick-and-mortar schools and one virtual school, with a total enrollment of 2,097 students. Most schools belong to Bristol City Schools (ranked 28th out of 141 districts in Tennessee), while one physical school—Emmett Elementary School—belongs to Sullivan County Schools. The Tennessee Online Public School at Bristol serves just 15 students virtually.

Haynesfield Elementary School stands out as the top performer in the area, ranking 112th out of 1,019 schools statewide with the highest test proficiency in math (61.3%), ELA (62.4%), and science (73.7%), while also having the lowest chronic absenteeism (6.9%) and lowest per-student spending ($12,763) among physical schools. Holston View Elementary School is a strong consistent performer, ranking 143rd statewide with excellent 5th-grade math (72.5%) and science scores, though it spends considerably more at $15,764 per student. Avoca Elementary School rounds out the top tier at 234th statewide, with strong 4th-grade math (71.0%) and 3rd-grade ELA (62.2%) scores.

At the other end of the spectrum, Emmett Elementary School ranks 620th and struggles significantly, particularly in 3rd-grade math (14.3%) and 5th-grade science (14.3%), despite spending $15,170 per student. Fairmount Elementary School and Anderson Elementary School also face challenges, with chronic absenteeism rates of 17.7% and 14.9%, respectively. A notable systemic issue is the decline in ELA proficiency from 3rd to 5th grade across the area, with Fairmount dropping from 50.0% to 24.5%. Science is a clear regional strength, with most schools well above the state average of 46.9%. Overall, higher spending does not guarantee better outcomes—Haynesfield achieves top results at the lowest cost, while Anderson spends the most ($16,786) but ranks in the 53rd percentile.
