Summary:
The 37840 zip code area is home to 6 schools across 3 different school districts - Roane County, Anderson County, and Morgan County. The schools include 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school.
Among the standout schools in the area are Dyllis Springs Elementary, which consistently ranks among the top 30% of elementary schools in Tennessee, and Oliver Springs High School, which ranks among the top 25% of high schools in the state. These schools have strong test scores, particularly in mathematics and English language arts, with students outperforming state and county averages. In contrast, Norwood Elementary and Petros Joyner Elementary struggle the most, with students scoring below state and county averages in most subject areas.
The data also reveals a concerning trend of high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools in the 37840 zip code, which may be a contributing factor to the disparities in academic performance. Additionally, the spending per student and student-teacher ratios vary widely, but these factors do not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes, suggesting that other factors, such as school leadership and community engagement, may play a more significant role in student success.
