Summary

Beech Elementary is a public elementary school in Hendersonville, Tennessee, serving 387 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Sumner County school district, which is ranked 30 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Beech Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Tennessee, with a statewide ranking between 54-97 over the past 5 years. The school's students perform significantly better than the Sumner County and Tennessee averages on the TNReady assessments, particularly in Mathematics and Science. For example, in 2024-2025, Beech Elementary had 75.6% proficiency in Mathematics compared to 58.7% for Sumner County and 42.2% for Tennessee. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.6 to 16.3 over the past 3 years, and has seen a significant increase in per-student spending from $9,954 in 2020-2021 to $15,266 in 2023-2024.

While Beech Elementary excels in overall academic performance, the school's lower rankings for African American and Special Education students suggest potential equity issues that may need to be addressed. The school's chronic absenteeism rate has also increased from 13% in 2022-2023 to 18.9% in 2023-2024, which could be a contributing factor. Compared to nearby schools, Beech Elementary significantly outperforms Millersville Elementary and George A. Whitten Elementary, but is closely matched by other high-performing schools in the area, such as Jack Anderson Elementary and Liberty Creek Elementary.
