Summary:
The city of Townsend, Tennessee has only one public school, Townsend Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade. Based on the available data, Townsend Elementary does not appear to be a standout school in the Blount County area.
Townsend Elementary has a relatively small student population of 108 students, with a predominantly white student body (93.52%). The school's performance on standardized tests, such as TNReady, is consistently below the county and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, going from 657 out of 1,020 Tennessee elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 808 out of 1,008 in 2023-2024, indicating a relative decline in performance compared to other schools in the state.
Despite the school's underperformance, its spending per student for the 2020-2021 school year was $13,717, which is higher than the state average. This raises questions about the efficient use of resources and the potential need for a closer examination of the school's budget and spending priorities.
