Middlesettements is a public elementary school in Louisville, Tennessee, serving students from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade within the Blount County school system. The school occupies a regular, non-charter public school role in a community that is part of the Knoxville metropolitan area. Louisville is a suburban town that has seen steady growth in its population, with an older-skewing median age that points to an established residential base. The town’s historic downtown, listed for its early history as a river port, and the Fort Loudoun Lake impoundment along the northern border are notable geographic and civic anchors.
The students at Middlesettements are from a predominantly white background, with smaller shares of Hispanic students and those identifying as two or more races, and very small numbers of Asian, Black, and American Indian or Alaska Native students. The school does not have a reported share of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, which keeps a clear picture of the family-income profile from view. Information on students with disabilities and English learners is also unavailable in the data. These gaps may be worth a parent raising directly with the school.
In its most recent state testing results for the 2024-25 school year, Middlesettements posted proficiency rates that vary by subject. In English language arts, just over half of the tested students performed at or above the state’s proficiency benchmark, with science showing a stronger showing with about two in three students reaching that level. Math came in at roughly the midpoint of these two subjects. It is worth noting that the school’s social studies results are from several years ago and are not comparable to the current assessment framework, so that area is effectively an open question. When placed against the other districts in Blount County, the school’s overall proficiency index across tested subjects lands below the midpoint of that comparison set, suggesting there are other schools in the county with higher composite performance.
Because Middlesettements serves only elementary grades, there is no graduation rate to report. A parent looking ahead to middle and high school will need to consider the full feeder pattern within Blount County. The school data did not include chronic absenteeism figures or discipline rates, so patterns around student attendance and behavior are not visible from this review.
On the housing front, Louisville sits in a market where home values are above the statewide average by a clear margin. Rent is also elevated relative to the national median household income, which combined with mortgage rates in the mid-single-digit range means the cost of entry to this community is comparatively high. The town’s growth rate and suburban character suggest a place where new residential development is continuing, but specific large-scale housing or commercial projects were not identified in publicly available information for this review.
Middlesettements presents as a school with solid but not top-tier academic results in the elementary grades, set in a growing and relatively affluent suburb. The standout subject area is science, where proficiency is notably higher than in math or English. The absence of key demographic and program data limits the full picture a family might want, and the school’s position relative to other district schools in Blount County is a point worth investigating further. A parent already living in the attendance zone or moving to Louisville will want to confirm the specific boundaries and understand how the school’s performance compares with the elementary options in nearby communities like Alcoa and Maryville, as well as the other schools within the Blount County system.
