Summary:

Zip code 37664 in Kingsport, TN is home to six elementary schools serving grades PK or K through 5, with approximately 2,695 students enrolled across Kingsport City Schools and Sullivan County Schools. All six schools rank in the top 72nd percentile or higher statewide, and every school exceeds Tennessee state averages in Math, ELA, and Science — making this a genuinely high-performing cluster of elementary schools.

John Adams Elementary School is the clear standout, ranking 62nd of 1,019 schools statewide (94th percentile) with a five-star rating and the highest proficiency in Math (76.7%), ELA (74.6%), and Science (69.4%), along with the lowest chronic absenteeism at just 6.5% — all while spending the least per student at $13,255. Andrew Johnson Elementary School is the strong runner-up at the 90th percentile with the highest ELA proficiency in the group (71.9%). Rock Springs Elementary School is the best of the Sullivan County schools, beating its district average by 20 points in Math. Abraham Lincoln Elementary School spends the most ($15,585 per student) yet ranks lowest among Kingsport schools with the highest chronic absenteeism at 23%, though its state rank improved sharply from 381 to 267.

Higher spending does not guarantee better outcomes, as John Adams Elementary School proves by outperforming every school in the zip code while spending the least. Chronic absenteeism is a clear differentiator: John Adams, Indian Springs Elementary School, Rock Springs Elementary School, and Thomas Jefferson Elementary School all have rates below 12%, while Abraham Lincoln Elementary School tops 23%. Science proficiency declined across five of the six schools year over year, with Rock Springs experiencing the steepest drop of nearly 13 points. This area offers a consistently strong educational environment, with John Adams as the top overall choice, Andrew Johnson Elementary School and Thomas Jefferson as excellent alternatives, and Abraham Lincoln representing a school on the mend with room to improve attendance and academics.
