The Best Elementary Schools in Brentwood TN

by

Edmondson elementary schoolBrentwood elementary schools rankining as of year-end 2015 based on recent TCAP scores recorded by the Tennessee board of education. Here they are, and if you are a parent who bought a home in Brentwood because of the reputation of the schools, congratulations, you hit a home run. By the way, all of these schools were ranked in the top 2% of elementary schools in the state of Tennessee excluding magnet schools.

The only real competition in non-magnet schools coming from other Williamson county schools in particular Clovercroft and Walnut Grove. Considering that all of these schools outscored most of the magnet schools in the state, parents should be really proud of the education they are providing for their children. If you live in Davidson county, a few of the elementary schools have become serious competition to the schools in Brentwood. All are close neighbors, and the cost of living in those areas are similar to what it cost to live in Brentwood. The top non magnet school in Nashville is Glendale elementary school, followed closely be Percy Priest, Julia Green, Granbery, and Crieve Hall. All of these have competive test scores and should be considered when search for homes in good school districts. Unfortunately the Davidson county high schools do not score well, and if your students can’t get into one of the magnet schools, their education will suffer in comparison to Williamson county schools.

What Are The Best Elementary Schools in Williamson county TN –
I get this question a lot, and if you base the answer on test scores, it’s a fairly easy answer. If you start to include opinions of parents and students, it becomes more subjective. I also think that comparing a magnet school to a typical public school is not a fair comparison. Magnet schools in general only allow the best students, giving them an unfair advantage. With all of that explanation behind me, I’ll go ahead and give you the rankings based on TCAP scores. The top 15 on this list are all in the top 5% of the state, a dominant showing by the county.

By the way, if you click on the school name, it will give you a list of all available homes in that school district.

5 of the top 9 elementary schools in the state based on TCAP scores are in Williamson county. The other 4 are all magnet schools.

The reasons behind this dominant performance is believe can be traced back to a high percentage of single family homes instead of high density housing (apartments), as well as good teachers and parents who are willing to participate. The best elementary schools in Williamson county are all located where almost no apartments are feeding short term students to the school.  By the way, the schools at the bottom of this list are all part of the Franklin special schools district where teachers are usually highest paid in Williamson county. So pay is not the answer to better schools.
