Summary:
Zip code 37757, covering Jacksboro, Tennessee, is served by three schools within the Campbell County Schools district: Campbell County Comprehensive High School (grades 9–12), Jacksboro Elementary School (PK–5), and Jacksboro Middle School (grades 6–8), with a combined enrollment of 2,274 students.
Jacksboro Elementary School is the academic leader, posting math and ELA proficiency near state averages—42.2% and 43.6% respectively—while outpacing the district by about 10 points in both subjects. Its 5th grade math proficiency is 65%, a 17-point advantage over both district and state. Jacksboro Middle School is the highest-ranked school in the zip code, sitting at the 52nd percentile statewide with a 3-star rating, and it stands out in social studies with 47.5% proficiency, led by a strong 6th grade cohort at 60.7%. By contrast, Campbell County Comprehensive High School struggles: its state ranking sits at the 20th percentile, with geometry proficiency at just 10.7% and Algebra I at 18.2%—far below state averages of 42.3% and 32.3%.
Perhaps the most striking finding is the sharp academic drop-off from middle to high school, alongside a troubling absenteeism trend. Chronic absenteeism rises from 21% at the elementary, to 25.5% at the middle school, to 35.1% at the high school—nearly double the state rate of 18.3%. Despite this, the high school posts a 94.7% graduation rate, above the state's 90.5%, and a 4.6% dropout rate below the state's 6.7%. Spending is similar across schools ($10,300–$10,700 per student), so differences in outcomes appear tied more to absenteeism and curriculum than funding. The declining test scores at the elementary are also worth monitoring, as they may signal challenges ahead.
