Best Public Schools in Zip Code 37865

Summary:

The 37865 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, all part of the Sevier County school district, except for Prospect Elementary which is part of the Blount County district.

Seymour Junior High stands out as the top-performing school in the area, consistently ranking in the top 25% of Tennessee middle schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its test scores are significantly above the Sevier County and Tennessee averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. Prospect Elementary, part of the higher-ranked Blount County district, also demonstrates excellent performance, exceeding both the Blount County and state averages.

The schools in this area show a wide range of academic performance, with Seymour High School and some of the elementary/middle schools performing below the state averages. The student population is relatively homogeneous, with 89-91% white students, and the data lacks information on free/reduced lunch rates, which would provide important context for understanding the schools' performance.
