Among the standout schools, Mountain City Elementary ranks 266 out of 1,008 Tennessee elementary schools and earns a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. It significantly outperforms the Johnson County and Tennessee averages on standardized tests, has a low student-teacher ratio of 15.1, and spends $11,207 per student. In contrast, Tennessee Connections Academy Johnson County K-8, the only virtual school in the data set, consistently underperforms the county and state averages across all subjects and grade levels.

The data reveals a wide range of academic performance among the schools, with Doe Elementary also outperforming the Johnson County and Tennessee averages in several areas. However, the relationship between higher spending per student and better academic performance is not clear, as the school with the highest spending per student, Laurel Elementary, does not outperform the other schools. These findings suggest that factors beyond just funding and student-teacher ratios may be contributing to the differences in academic achievement among the elementary schools in Johnson County.
