Summary:

ZIP code 37807 in Maynardville, Tennessee is served by 7 schools — 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools — all part of Union County Schools, with a total enrollment of 2,323 students. The district is ranked 124th out of 141 Tennessee districts, placing it in the bottom 12th percentile. Yet two schools clearly stand apart: Big Ridge Elementary School and Paulette Elementary School both rank in the 52nd percentile with 3 stars, posting proficiency rates near or above state averages. Maynardville Elementary School, by contrast, ranks in the 17th percentile with just 1 star, showing the wide range of outcomes within this single community.

Big Ridge Elementary School is the strongest school in the ZIP code, ranking 490th of 1,019 elementary schools, with 41.8% math and 46.8% ELA proficiency compared to district averages of 20.2% and 27.6%.

Union County High School graduates 93.1% of students with a 3.4% dropout rate, both better than state averages, and exceeds state proficiency in Algebra II and US History, though proficiency in foundational subjects like Algebra I, Biology I, and English I remains well below state levels.

Chronic absenteeism is the district's most pressing issue, with every regular school except Big Ridge above the state average of 18.3%; Union County High School reports a concerning 30.2%. H Maynard Middle School shows strong improvement, raising science proficiency from 27.5% to 36.7% and improving its rank from the 18th to 31st percentile.
