Best Public Schools in Zip Code 37738

Summary:

The 37738 zip code area in Tennessee is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Sevier County school district. While the district as a whole is ranked 96 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, a few schools in the area stand out.

Gatlinburg Pittman Junior High consistently ranks in the top 30% of Tennessee middle schools, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its test scores are generally above the Sevier County and Tennessee averages, particularly in math, science, and social studies. In contrast, Gatlinburg Pittman High School has seen a decline in its state ranking over the past 3 years, from 156 to 207, which is a potential area of concern.

The elementary schools, Pi Beta Phi Elementary and Pittman Center Elementary, while not the highest-performing, still show some areas of strength, particularly in science and social studies. However, all 4 schools in the area have a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate than the state average, which is an issue the district may need to address.
