Summary:

ZIP code 37725 in Dandridge, Tennessee, is served by four public schools within the Jefferson County Schools district — Jefferson County High School (grades 9–12), Maury Middle School (grades 6–8), Dandridge Elementary School (PreK–5), and Piedmont Elementary School (PreK–5) — which together enroll approximately 3,457 students and form a complete K–12 pipeline. The district ranks 71st out of 141 Tennessee districts, placing in the 50th percentile with a 3-star rating.

Dandridge Elementary School is the strongest academic performer in the area, exceeding both district and state proficiency rates in every tested subject in 2025–26, with especially strong 4th-grade results. Jefferson County High School stands out for graduating 95.4% of its students in 2024–25, well above the state rate of 90.5%, and posting a dropout rate of just 2.2% versus 6.7% statewide. Maury Middle School posts standout science and social studies scores, with 8th-grade social studies proficiency nearly 14 points above the state average. Piedmont Elementary School has the lowest chronic absenteeism in the ZIP code at 12.6%, but its state ranking dropped sharply from the 73rd percentile in 2024–25 to the 55th percentile in 2025–26.

Chronic absenteeism climbs steadily with grade level across the ZIP code, from 12.6%–19.7% at the elementary schools to 17.8% at Maury Middle School and 23.9% at Jefferson County High School — a concern despite the high school's strong graduation rate. Piedmont Elementary School presents a puzzling picture: it spends the most per student ($12,761) and has the best attendance, yet posted weak 4th-grade ELA and science scores in 2025–26. Overall, three of the four schools earn 4-star ratings and rank in the 72nd percentile or higher, indicating this area offers a solid educational pipeline despite the district's middling overall ranking. Dandridge Elementary School and Maury Middle School consistently beat state averages, and Jefferson County High School shows strong proficiency in English II and Biology I, making high school chronic absenteeism and Piedmont's recent slide the key items to watch.
