Best Public Schools in Zip Code 38559

ZIP code 38559 is home to just one school: Doyle Elementary School, a public elementary school in Doyle, Tennessee, serving grades PK–5 with 309 students. The school operates within White County Schools, a district ranked 17th out of 141 districts in Tennessee (88th percentile) with a 4-star rating. Doyle Elementary has maintained its own 4-star state rating for each of the past three school years, placing it consistently in the top quarter of elementary schools statewide — though its percentile ranking has fluctuated from 78th to 83rd and back to 73rd.

Academically, Doyle Elementary's greatest strengths are in mathematics and science. At the all-grades level, math proficiency was 58.1% and science proficiency was 58.8% in 2025–2026, both roughly 15 percentage points above the state average. The 4th grade class is the standout cohort, achieving 86.1% proficiency in math — far above the district's 66.1% and the state's 49.4% — while also exceeding district and state averages in ELA and science. Chronic absenteeism is another major positive: only 7.7% of students are chronically absent, compared to 12.4% for the district and 18.3% statewide. Per-student spending at the school is $11,236.

There are, however, clear areas for improvement. In 3rd grade, math and ELA proficiency both sit at 39.1%, below the state averages of 42.6% and 44.9%, respectively. Fifth grade ELA is also a concern at 38.9%, which trails both the district (50.5%) and state (42.7%). English Language Arts is the school's relative weak spot overall, coming in just below the district average at the all-grades level. Free/reduced lunch data and student-teacher ratios were not reported, limiting further context. On balance, Doyle Elementary is a strong, well-attended school with standout STEM performance and a few targeted areas — particularly early elementary math/reading and upper-elementary literacy — that, if addressed, could push it back toward a higher state ranking.
