About Yorkville Elementary

Yorkville Elementary serves 144 students in pre-kindergarten through 8th grade in Yorkville, Tennessee. It earns a composite score of 9.2/10 — rated Exceptional — and the numbers behind that rating are among the strongest in the state. The school ranks #34 out of 1,785 public schools in Tennessee, outperforming 98% of them.

Within Gibson County Special District, it holds the top spot: #1 out of 9 schools. Academic performance scores a 9.1/10. Growth is the standout: a 9.8/10 signals that students are advancing faster than expected — not just arriving with strong foundations, but building on them year over year.

That growth trajectory reflects deliberate instruction, not statistical luck. With 144 students and a 13.1-to-1 student-teacher ratio, Yorkville keeps classes small enough that teachers can track individual progress closely. For a school covering pre-K through 8th grade, that continuity matters — the same community follows a student from early childhood through middle school.

Families in Gibson County have a clear top choice. Families relocating anywhere in Tennessee will find that Yorkville Elementary holds its own against much larger schools, ranking #29 among 1,002 elementary schools statewide — a result that holds up against urban and suburban competitors alike.

What Parents Should Know

With an enrollment of 144 students, Yorkville Elementary is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

Located in a rural area, Yorkville Elementary may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
