What the reported data says about Townsend Elementary School
Townsend Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades KG–05 in Townsend. It is one of 22 current school records connected to Blount County Schools. NCES reports 108 students for 2024–25.
Among 1,016 elementary schools in Tennessee with comparable records, this school is smaller than the reported median of 454 students. Its enrollment is at approximately the 2th percentile for that peer group. Size describes the campus, not instructional quality.
The reported student–teacher ratio is 16.4:1, above the Tennessee median of 12.6:1 for the same school level. This ratio uses total enrollment and teacher FTE; it is not an average classroom headcount and can be affected by special programs or part-time staffing.
The two largest reported race and ethnicity groups are White (87%) and Hispanic or Latino (5.6%). Students served under IDEA represent 14.8%. These figures help families understand who the school serves; they are not rating inputs.
