Summary

Hull-Jackson Elementary is a public magnet elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee, serving grades PK-5 with an enrollment of 360 students. The school is part of the Davidson County school district, which is ranked 122 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its high per-student spending, ranging from $16,557 to $25,985 over the past few years, Hull-Jackson Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 20-25% of Tennessee elementary schools based on the statewide SchoolDigger ranking. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science are significantly lower than the Davidson County and Tennessee state averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 22% of students at Hull-Jackson were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 31.9% in Davidson County and 42.2% statewide. Additionally, the school has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.9% to 27.8% over the past few years, notably higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Rocketship Nashville Northeast Elementary, Warner Elementary, and Ida B. Wells Elementary, generally perform better than Hull-Jackson Elementary on academic metrics, despite being part of the same Davidson County school district. The data suggests that Hull-Jackson Elementary could benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the academic and attendance challenges faced by its students, particularly those from underperforming subgroups.
