Summary:

Zip code 37660, covering the Kingsport, Tennessee area, contains 7 schools — 6 elementary schools and 1 middle school — serving approximately 3,004 students across two districts: Kingsport City Schools (a 4-star district ranked 21st in Tennessee) and Sullivan County Schools (a 3-star district ranked 63rd). School ratings range widely, from a 1-star rating at Andrew Jackson Elementary School to 4-star ratings at George Washington Elementary School and John Sevier Middle School.

George Washington Elementary School is the academic leader, posting the highest proficiency rates in the zip code in math (66.9%), ELA (59.9%), and science (60.3%) — all well above state averages — while spending the least per student at $13,905, making it both the highest-performing and most efficient school here. At the opposite end, Andrew Jackson Elementary School is a concern, with proficiency rates near 30%, a 1-star rating, and a chronic absenteeism rate of 32.2%. John Sevier Middle School, the only middle school, has an exceptional accelerated math program (92.9% Algebra I proficiency and 93.8% Geometry), though its overall scores are near state averages and its chronic absenteeism rate is the highest in the zip code at 34.4%.

Chronic absenteeism is the most widespread issue: every school in the zip code exceeds the state rate of 18.3%, and the average across these schools is about 25.1%. Higher spending does not guarantee better results — Sullivan Gardens Elementary School spends the most ($18,125) but posts only mid-range scores. Several schools are on strong upward trajectories, including Ketron Elementary School (22nd to 49th percentile over three years), Theodore Roosevelt Elementary School (32nd to 64th), John F. Kennedy Elementary School (38th to 60th), and John Sevier Middle School (56th to 76th). Andrew Jackson Elementary School, however, has declined from the 41st to the 20th percentile. Parents should also note that grade-level scores can swing dramatically within a school, suggesting certain transition grades deserve extra attention.
