Elementary Schools in Knoxville, TN (2024)

  1. #6 Best Private K-12 Schools in TennesseeWebb School of KnoxvilleKnoxville, TN·Private School·PK, K-12·Rating 4.3 out of 5 110 reviewsJunior: Webb School of Knoxville is a wonderful college preparatory school with many opportunities to try something new, push individuals outside of their comfort zones, and succeed to the best of their ability. Webb provides each student with all of the resources needed to grow and thrive in the environment. The teachers and staff help to prepare the student body as they go onto their next chapter of life in college. Overall, the school is a fantastic place for the growth of education and performance. With that said, many have complained that due to the expense of the school, many of the students and families have begun to see themselves as superior to others, whether that's based on their personal wealth or how much they donate to the school. Bullying has been a rising issue over the past few years, especially in the high school, with the competition of academics and sports. To conclude, the school truly does an amazing job being well rounded and inclusive of all students....

  2. #20 Best Private K-12 Schools in TennesseeRivers Edge Christian AcademyKnoxville, TN·Private School·PK, K-12·Rating 4.52 out of 5 21 reviewsSenior: I have attended River Edge Christian Academy since 3rd grade and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a small Christian school. It is a very close-knit and welcoming God-centered community. The teachers and Facility work their hardest to provide the best learning experience possible to their students. The school is very small though, with less than 1,000 students, so it isn't the right fit for everyone. The school pushes students to do their best and grow both academically and spiritually. Another downside is they do not offer sports, due to the school renting their building from a church. They are however partners with Concord Christian School and offer various sports through that program....

My child needed help with some things and the majority of the staff had no problem meeting those needs. I would check in frequently with his teachers and staff so that we could all work together to make the transition and daily learning successful. Mrs. Adorante (recently retired principal) was wonderful and very welcoming. While traffic may have been rough- a little preparation and routine always made it go smoothly. While the school does request that parents be involved with science labs/activities, I enjoyed having the opportunity to participate and get to know the staff and students that interacted with my child daily....
