Summary:
The 37683 zip code area in Tennessee is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Johnson County school district. While the district is ranked 134 out of 139 in the state and rated 0 stars by SchoolDigger, a few schools stand out in the area.
Mountain City Elementary is the top-performing school, ranked 595 out of 1,009 Tennessee elementary schools and rated 2 out of 5 stars. It has relatively strong test scores, with 37.6% proficient or better in English Language Arts and 28.8% in Mathematics, as well as a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 18.9%. Roan Creek Elementary also performs better than the district average, with 27.5% proficient or better in English Language Arts and 21.6% in Mathematics, and a lower student-teacher ratio of 11.8.
However, the other schools in the area, including Johnson County High School, struggle significantly, with low test scores, graduation rates, and high dropout rates. The high chronic absenteeism rate of 18.9% across all schools in the 37683 zip code area is a major concern and may be contributing to the overall poor academic performance. The systemic issues within the Johnson County district suggest that there may be underlying equity challenges that need to be addressed to improve educational outcomes for students in this area.
