District-Level NCES Analysis
Maryville operates 8 public schools serving 5,671 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Tennessee. The school portfolio breaks down into 5 combined, 2 elementary, 1 high schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Blount County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,424 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 141 Tennessee districts by per-pupil spending. See how Tennessee compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 51.2% local, 33.1% state, and 15.7% federal, a local-revenue-heavy mix that leaves the district more exposed to property-tax swings and local ballot measures than state-funded peers. The district's equity score is 30/100, ranked #101 of 140 in Tennessee against a state average of 38, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 2 of 8 schools offering Advanced Placement (23 AP courses district-wide), a 428.7:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 10.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 81.5% White, 9.4% Hispanic or Latino, 2.5% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Foothills Elementary, with a diversity index of 39.5/100.
Its largest campus is Maryville High School, enrolling 1,231 students (22% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Maryville Virtual School, at 62 students, a 20x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Maryville High School accounts for 21.5% of all Maryville student enrollment
That concentration means Maryville-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Maryville school enrollment varies 20× across entities
Maryville school enrollment ranges from 62 students (lowest) to 1,231 students (highest), a spread of 1,169 students. That spread is wider than typical and predicts noticeable gaps in service quality between the highest and lowest areas. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Maryville student-counselor ratio is 429:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Maryville chronic absenteeism rate is 10.8% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
