Schools in Zip Code 37764

ZIP code 37764 (Kodak, TN) is served by four schools in the Sevier County Schools district—Northview Primary School (PK–3), Northview Intermediate School (4–6), Northview Junior Academy (7–9), and Northview Senior Academy (10–12)—forming a single feeder pipeline within a district ranked in the bottom third of Tennessee.

The clear standout is Northview Primary School, which ranks in the 70th percentile statewide (4 stars) and outperforms state averages in math (54% proficient vs. 43%) and science (57.6% vs. 46.9%), though its ELA proficiency (39.3%) trails the state (40.6%). The other three schools struggle academically. Northview Intermediate School has no state ranking but posts a very low social studies proficiency of 19.2% compared to 51.4% statewide, plus the highest chronic absenteeism rate in the area at 29.6%. Northview Junior Academy, ranked in the 30th percentile, has a misleadingly high geometry score (78.7%) because only a select group of 9th graders takes the exam; its all-grades ELA proficiency is just 22.6%, with 8th-grade ELA at 15.3%. Northview Senior Academy, ranked in the 27th percentile, graduates 93.4% of students but has very weak test scores, including Biology I at 15.4% vs. 49.8% statewide and Geometry at 14.8% vs. 42.3%.

Chronic absenteeism is a systemic problem—every school exceeds the state rate of 18.3%, ranging from 24.6% at Junior Academy to 29.6% at Intermediate. Per-student spending does not correlate with performance: Senior Academy spends the most ($16,719) yet has the lowest scores, while Junior Academy spends the least ($13,754) and shows mixed results. Overall, this is a district where early elementary success gives way to declining proficiency in middle and high school, especially in ELA, social studies, and science, while attendance remains a critical challenge. Parents should note the strong early foundation at Northview Primary, but expect significant academic gaps as students move through the pipeline.
