John Sevier Elementary

John Sevier Elementary serves 645 students in pre-kindergarten through third grade in Maryville, Tennessee. It earns a composite score of 9.1 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — with academic and growth scores of 9.6 each. That combination puts the school at #2 of 20 public schools in Maryville and #37 out of 1,785 statewide, outperforming 98% of Tennessee public schools.

Among elementary schools specifically, John Sevier ranks #33 of 1,002 — landing in the top 4% of its direct peer group. A student-teacher ratio of 14.7 to 1 gives teachers the room to work with 645 early-learners at that level of consistency. The academic and growth scores carry distinct meaning when they're both this high.

Strong academic scores show students are performing well. Matching growth scores — at 9.6 — confirm the school is accelerating students, not just serving those who arrive prepared. For a PK–3 school, that distinction tells parents something the composite alone doesn't: gains are happening across a wide range of incoming ability levels.

For families with early elementary children in Maryville, this school sits at the top of the local field.
