Schools in Zip Code 37729

Zip code 37729 in Duff, Tennessee is home to 2 schools, Wynn Habersham Elementary School and White Oak Elementary School, both classified as elementary schools serving grades PK–8 under Campbell County Schools. While both are labeled elementary, they actually serve students beyond traditional elementary grades, covering preschool through 8th grade. The district context matters: Campbell County Schools is ranked 131 out of 141 districts in Tennessee, placing it in the 7th percentile with a 0-star rating, making any school-level success especially notable.

White Oak Elementary School is the clear standout, ranking 252 out of 1,019 schools in Tennessee for 2025–2026, placing it in the 75th percentile with a 4-star rating — a major jump from the previous year's 612th-place ranking (39th percentile). This school posted 48.1% proficiency in Math, ELA, and Science, above both district and state averages, and has a chronic absenteeism rate of 14.8%, better than the district's 28.6% and even the state's 18.3%. In contrast, Wynn Habersham Elementary School ranks 813 out of 1,019 schools (20th percentile, 1 star) and trails district and state averages in all subjects overall. However, its 8th grade scores stand out, especially math at 63.6% proficiency versus the state average of 38.3%.

The two schools are on very different trajectories. White Oak jumped from the 39th to the 75th percentile in one year, including a massive Social Studies gain from 5.9% to 35.7% proficiency — though with only 101 students, a single strong cohort can drive large swings. It also spends significantly more per student ($18,858 vs. $14,502 at Wynn Habersham Elementary School). Chronic absenteeism is a district-wide concern, but both schools beat the district average, and neither has a high school in the zip code, so students leave Duff after 8th grade. Families in this area face two very different school experiences despite close proximity and shared district oversight.
