Summary:
Zip code 37690 (Telford, TN) is served by a single school, Grandview Elementary School, which covers grades PK–8 with 585 students and acts as both the elementary and middle school for the area. As the only school in the zip code, Grandview is automatically the standout, but it earns that label on its own merits: chronic absenteeism is just 9.5%, roughly half the rate of Washington County Schools (17.3%) and well below the state average (18.3%). The school also holds a stable upper-third state ranking, landing at the 67th percentile with 3 stars for 2025–2026.
Academically, Grandview exceeds Tennessee state averages in every subject, with especially strong science (56.2% proficient vs. 46.9% statewide) and social studies (58.1% vs. 51.4%). However, compared to its district, the school trails in math (46.9% vs. 48.9%) and English language arts (42.1% vs. 48.2%), with the ELA gap being the most noticeable weakness. Science remains a consistent bright spot across nearly all grade levels, and social studies saw the biggest year-over-year jump, rising from 52.0% to 58.1% proficiency.
Grade-level results reveal some striking contrasts. Third-grade math is a serious concern, with only 19.7% proficiency versus 42.6% statewide, yet by 8th grade the same cohort-style data shows 69% proficiency—more than 30 points above the state. Similarly, 7th-grade ELA dips to 32.1%, the only ELA grade below the state average. These patterns suggest the school handles middle-school math exceptionally well but struggles with early elementary math and middle-school ELA. Per-student spending is $14,243, though free/reduced lunch eligibility and student-teacher ratio are not reported, limiting full context. Overall, Grandview is a solid, above-average school that turns some early struggles into strong later results—parents should ask about early intervention efforts, especially in 3rd-grade math.
