Summary

Nannie Berry Elementary is a public elementary school located in Hendersonville, Tennessee, serving grades PK-5 with an enrollment of 541 students. The school 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.

Nannie Berry Elementary consistently performs above the state average in TNReady assessments for Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science across all grade levels, and its proficiency rates are also higher than the Sumner County district averages in most subject areas and grade levels. The school has a strong track record, ranking in the top 25% of Tennessee elementary schools for the past several years. Nannie Berry Elementary also performs well across different student subgroups, with rankings generally in the top half of Tennessee elementary schools, though there are some areas where certain subgroups, such as African American and special education students, have lower rankings compared to their peers.

However, Nannie Berry Elementary has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism rates over the past few years, rising from 8.2% in 2020-2021 to 18.9% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average and the Sumner County district average. The school's relatively high per-student spending of $11,943 in the 2023-2024 school year, which is above the district and state averages, may contribute to its strong academic performance and resources available to students. Compared to nearby schools, Nannie Berry Elementary performs well, particularly in comparison to Jack Anderson Elementary and Dr. William Burrus Elementary at Drakes Creek, which also rank highly in the state, but some nearby schools, such as George A. Whitten Elementary and Lakeside Park Elementary, have lower academic performance.

My Daughter has completed both kindergarten and first grade at Nannie Berry. I have been very pleased. The teaching staff is always setting up creative methods for teaching. My daughter enjoys her school very much. They implement new strategies such as flexible seating in her classroom where children were free to move around. I was happy to know a young child wasn't tethered to a desk all day. Project felt opened ended where children could work independently and push themselves however they were also encouraged to help others. That style learning appeals to me Hands On, collaborative, meaningful work. Close Quote

Nannie Berry has to be one of the most racist schools I've ever seen. So many ridiculous incidents where my child was targeted. They are not considerate to working parents and give K5 a ridiculous amount of homework. They teach on a basis that every child is on the same level. My son was recommended to repeat K5 because he was not excelling in reading and writing, excellent in math, but not reading and writing. He's always made progress but not on the level as everyone else. Teachers are incredibly judgmental and when I approached the principle with a concern I had of a dangerous incident, he completely took up for the teachers and called my son a "liar." I am so overjoyed my son will not be returning to this school. Close Quote
