Summary
Haywood Elementary is a public elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee, serving 565 students in grades PK-4 and part of the Davidson County school district. Despite spending significantly more per student than the state and district averages, Haywood Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Tennessee elementary schools, with academic performance well below state and district levels across all grade levels and subject areas.
The school struggles to effectively serve its diverse student population, ranking in the bottom 10-20% for most student subgroups, including female, male, Asian, African American, Hispanic, English Language Learners, and students with special needs. Haywood Elementary's performance for low-socioeconomic status students is particularly concerning, ranking in the bottom 15-20% of Tennessee elementary schools. Additionally, the school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11.1% to 27.8% over the past few years, which is significantly above the state and district averages.
Comparing Haywood Elementary to nearby schools in the Davidson County district, such as Glengarry Elementary, Crieve Hall Elementary, and Norman Binkley Elementary, highlights the significant performance gap, as these schools generally outperform Haywood across academic metrics, student group performance, and other key indicators. The high chronic absenteeism rates and the school's challenges in serving its diverse student population may be contributing factors to Haywood Elementary's underperformance, which requires immediate attention and intervention from the district and state.
