Summary

Stanford Elementary is a public magnet elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 435. Despite being part of the Davidson County school district, which is ranked 122 out of 139 districts in Tennessee, Stanford Elementary consistently ranks among the top 15% of elementary schools in the state with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stanford Elementary's academic performance is exceptional, with proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science significantly higher than the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school had 50% proficiency in Mathematics, compared to 31.9% for the district and 42.2% for the state, and 61.6% proficiency in English Language Arts, compared to 31.2% for the district and 38.9% for the state. The school's performance is particularly strong for low-income students, who rank in the top 25% of Tennessee elementary schools in Mathematics and English Language Arts.

While Stanford Elementary has experienced fluctuations in chronic absenteeism rates, its rates are still lower than the Davidson County district average. The school's high per-student spending of around $21,000 may contribute to its strong academic performance, as it significantly outperforms nearby schools in the district, such as Inglewood Elementary, Hermitage Elementary, and McGavock Elementary, in all subject areas.
