Summary:

Zip code 37804 contains 8 schools serving 4,786 students across elementary, middle, and high school grades within Maryville City Schools and Blount County Schools. This is a tale of two districts: Maryville City ranks 9th of 141 districts in Tennessee (94th percentile, 5 stars), while Blount County ranks 67th (52nd percentile, 3 stars). The Maryville schools here — Coulter Grove Intermediate School and John Sevier Elementary School — consistently rank in the 90th percentile or higher. Most Blount County schools in the area, including Heritage High School, Heritage Middle School, and Eagleton Elementary School, perform near or below state averages — with one notable exception.

Coulter Grove Intermediate School is the best overall school in 37804, ranking in the 97th percentile with proficiency dramatically above state averages: 73.6% in math, 68.6% in ELA, and 76.3% in science. Its chronic absenteeism is just 10.9%, well below the state rate of 18.3%. John Sevier Elementary School is a 5-star school (91st percentile) with math proficiency 27 points above the state. Porter Elementary School is the strongest Blount County school, ranking in the 86th percentile (4 stars) with the lowest chronic absenteeism in the zip code at 9.5%. It outperforms Eagleton Elementary School by wide margins in math (66.7% vs. 45.0%) and ELA (58.8% vs. 39.1%).

Not everything is as it seems. Eagleton College and Career Academy has a 99.0% graduation rate but ranks in the 26th percentile (1 star), with the highest chronic absenteeism (25.5%) and low proficiency. Spending does not predict performance either: Coulter Grove Intermediate School spends a modest $11,730 per student while Eagleton Elementary School spends $14,097 with near-average results. Advanced courses can also distort scores — Heritage Middle School posts 87.5% Algebra I proficiency but only 30.7% overall math, since Algebra I reflects a self-selected group. Maryville Virtual School, with just 62 students, has the lowest graduation rate (82.4%) and highest dropout rate (11.8%), though its small size means caution is warranted.
