Northview Primary, Kodak TN - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Northview Primary

Northview Primary serves students in pre-kindergarten through third grade in Kodak, an unincorporated community in Sevier County. The school sits on a shared campus with Northview Intermediate and Northview Academy, a cluster that lets families move their children through the system without changing neighborhoods. Kodak itself is a largely car-dependent place oriented around the I-40 interchange, where highway retail and tourism services dominate the local economy. The area has seen commercial growth in recent years with major developments along the corridor, and a sizable portion of Kodak has been annexed into Sevierville.

The student body is predominantly White, with a notable Hispanic enrollment and small shares of students who are Black, Asian, or multiracial. Because the school serves only the earliest grades, there is no graduation rate to report. The school is a regular public school and part of Sevier County Schools. No information was available about the share of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, about special education identification rates, or about English learner enrollment. A parent looking into those dimensions of student support would need to ask the school or district directly.

State test results are available for the grades that are tested. In math, just over a third of students scored at the proficient level or above. In English language arts, the proficiency rate was slightly lower, at roughly three out of ten students. On the science assessment, about half of students reached the proficient mark. These results cover the same group of tested students, so they give a consistent picture of where the school stands academically in the earliest tested year. The participation rate was full, meaning nearly every enrolled student took the assessments. Social studies data from an earlier year is not comparable to current results because the test and cut scores changed in the intervening period, so it is not useful for understanding current performance.

The school's overall proficiency profile, when considered relative to other districts within Sevier County, could not be placed because only one district in the county was available for comparison. That means the data does not support a statement about how this school's results stack up against nearby peers.

Northview Primary is a straightforward entry point for families living in the Kodak area, offering a full day of early elementary instruction across pre-kindergarten through third grade. The campus arrangement with the intermediate school and academy means children who start here can continue in the same school community through grade twelve. The academic picture from state testing is mixed: science performance is stronger than math and reading, and all three subjects leave room for growth. The absence of data on economic disadvantage and special programs means families who rely on those supports should confirm availability directly. For parents who value a co-located K-12 path in a growing suburban-style community along a tourist corridor, Northview Primary provides that structure.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
