In brief
The short version on Friendsville’s schools
Friendsville’s schools are very small
All of Friendsville’s public school students add up to 212 children. That means real individual attention, but also that a single class can swing the scores from year to year. Every school ↓
Which school depends on your street
With five middle and four high schools, the school a child attends depends on your address. After that, everyone goes to Friendsville Elementary. See the path ↓
This summary is written from the data on this page. Test scores are from 2020–21, a pandemic year, so treat small gaps with caution.

How the School Grade works
Results, not inputs. Math and reading proficiency on Tennessee’s state tests against the state average, plus the four-year graduation rate. Spending and class size are shown but don’t count. Tests: 2020–21; graduation: class of 2020.
The whole path. A town’s grade follows its kids through every district that serves it, weighted by students tested. Tests count 60%, graduation 40%.
Graded within the state. Each state writes its own tests, so districts are compared with the rest of Tennessee only. A+ is the top 5%, A the next 10%, A− the next 10%, the B range the next 30%, the C range the next 30%, D the rest.
What a grade can’t tell you. Test results track family income, so we also compare towns with similar incomes. Visit, ask other parents, and read neighbor reviews. It’s our own summary of U.S. Department of Education data, not an official rating.
