Summary:
The 37876 zip code area is home to 6 schools, including 5 elementary schools and 1 high school, serving grades ranging from pre-K to 12th grade. While the schools in this area demonstrate a wide range of academic performance, a few stand out as exceptional.
Catons Chapel Elementary consistently outperforms the Sevier County and state averages across various subject areas and grade levels, with the highest proficiency rates and a state-wide ranking in the top 15% of Tennessee elementary schools. Similarly, Boyds Creek Elementary School also demonstrates strong academic performance, with proficiency rates exceeding the county and state averages in most subject areas and a state-wide ranking in the top 30% of Tennessee elementary schools.
In contrast, Gary Hardin Academy, the only high school in the data set, struggles with lower test scores and a lower state-wide ranking compared to the elementary schools, despite having a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89.2% and a low dropout rate of 6.7%. The data also reveals a consistently high chronic absenteeism rate of 18.9% across all schools, which is an area of concern that may require further investigation and intervention.
