Summary:
Zip code 37772 is served by exactly one school: Highland Park Elementary School, a PK–4 elementary school in Lenoir City, TN, within the Loudon County Schools district, making this 410-student school the sole educational anchor for families in the area since no middle or high schools are listed in this zip code.
As the only school in 37772, Highland Park Elementary is automatically the standout — and it earns that distinction. It is a 4-star school in Tennessee's ranking system, currently sitting in the 72nd percentile of the state's elementary schools. The school's math proficiency rate of 60.6% and ELA rate of 54.7% both outpace the district and state averages by meaningful margins, while its science proficiency of 46.7% trails its own district by 6.1 points and is essentially flat against the state. Attendance is a clear strength: the chronic absenteeism rate of 10.9% is well below the district's 12.4% and the state's 18.3%, and the school invests $13,346 per student.
The most interesting story inside the school is the grade-level gap. Fourth graders outperform third graders dramatically in every subject, with math jumping 22.8 points (from 49.3% to 72.1%) and science climbing 15.3 points. However, the school's overall ranking has slipped from the 82nd percentile in 2024–2025 to the 72nd percentile in 2025–2026, coinciding with a 13.3-point drop in science proficiency from 60.0% to 46.7%. Math also dipped modestly while ELA held steady. For parents, Highland Park offers a stable, above-average education where math and reading are clear strengths, attendance is healthy, and science is the area most in need of attention — a tradeoff worth knowing when evaluating this single-school zip code.
