Public Grades PK, KG-5

Better than 22% of Tennessee elementary schools

Summary

Guild Elementary is a public elementary school located in Gallatin, Tennessee, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 584 students. It is part of the Sumner County School District, which is ranked 30 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the district's strong performance, Guild Elementary faces significant academic challenges. The school's test scores are significantly lower than the Sumner County and Tennessee state averages across all grade levels and subjects, with only 32.4% of students proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 58.7% for Sumner County and 42.2% for the state. The performance gap is particularly pronounced in 5th grade, where only 18.1% of Guild Elementary students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 58.8% for Sumner County and 47.1% for Tennessee.

Interestingly, the nearby George A. Whitten Elementary, Liberty Creek Elementary, and Dr. William Burrus Elementary at Drakes Creek significantly outperform Guild Elementary, suggesting that the low performance at Guild Elementary is not solely a district-wide issue. The school's high chronic absenteeism rates and higher spending per student compared to the district and state averages, without corresponding improvements in academic outcomes, suggest that targeted interventions and a re-evaluation of resource allocation may be necessary to address the specific needs of Guild Elementary's student population.
