Summary:
Zip code 37764 in Kodak, Tennessee is served by two middle-level schools in the Sevier County Schools district: Northview Junior Academy, serving grades 7–9 with 602 students, and Northview Intermediate School, serving grades 4–6 with 430 students. The district ranks 93rd out of 141 Tennessee districts, placing it generally below the state average, and neither school reports free/reduced lunch data or student-teacher ratios.
The two schools are on very different trajectories. Northview Junior Academy improved in every tested subject from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, with Geometry a clear standout at 78.7% proficient compared to 42.3% statewide. Biology I also improved sharply, from 30.6% to 41.5% proficiency. However, its English Language Arts remains weak at 22.6% proficient, and 8th-grade ELA is especially concerning at just 15.3%. By contrast, Northview Intermediate School declined slightly in nearly every subject and posts a chronic absenteeism rate of 29.6% — nearly one in three students. Social studies is its biggest weakness at 19.2% proficient, far below the district's 40.7% and the state's 51.4%.
Chronic absenteeism is a systemic concern in both schools, with rates of 24.6% and 29.6% versus the state average of 18.3%. Both schools also trail district and state averages in math, ELA, science, and social studies despite spending more than $13,700 per student. The data points to urgent attention needed at the transition points: 6th-grade performance at Northview Intermediate School and 8th-grade ELA at Northview Junior Academy. While the junior academy shows clear improvement momentum, families should weigh the intermediate school's attendance challenges and declining scores when comparing the two.
