Summary:
Zip code 37764 is served by a single high school: Northview Senior Academy in Kodak, Tennessee, a school within Sevier County Schools that enrolls 586 students in grades 10–12. Because only one high school serves this ZIP code, Northview carries the full weight of local upper secondary education, making its strengths and weaknesses community-wide priorities.
Northview posts several encouraging metrics: a 93.4% graduation rate, higher than the state average of 90.5%, and an exceptionally low 1.7% dropout rate compared with 6.7% statewide. However, 29% of students are chronically absent, well above the district rate of 23.2% and the state rate of 18.3%, suggesting that many students miss significant instructional time. Academically, the school trails Tennessee averages in every tested subject. The largest gaps are in Geometry (14.8% proficient vs. 42.3% statewide) and Biology I (15.4% vs. 49.8%), while English II is close to the state mark (52.0% vs. 58.1%). One bright spot is 10th-grade Algebra II, where 65.2% of students are proficient, slightly above the state's 63.9%. The school has earned 1 star and ranked in the bottom third of Tennessee high schools for three consecutive years.
Encouragingly, every subject with comparable data improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26: Algebra II rose 6.2 points, English II 5.2, Geometry 5.1, and US History 1.1 points. At $16,719 per student, Northview's spending is substantial, yet STEM outcomes remain a major weakness. As the only high school in 37764, Northview Senior Academy is central to the community, and its areas of need—especially chronic absenteeism and STEM proficiency—should be focal points for improvement. Note: the district's reported 10th-grade Biology I proficiency figure of 2.9% appears to be a data anomaly, so that specific comparison should be interpreted with caution.
