Jones Cove Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Sevier County school district, located in Cosby, TN with about 141 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families.
