Summary:
Arrington, Tennessee is served by a single school, Arrington Elementary School, a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 with 715 students in the highly ranked Williamson County Schools district.
Arrington Elementary is a consistent 5-star performer, ranking 39th out of 1,019 Tennessee schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 96th percentile. It far exceeds state averages in every subject, with math proficiency at 85.3% (compared to 43.0% statewide), science at 79.0%, and English language arts at 71.9%. The school’s biggest standout strength is early elementary math and science: 91.1% of third graders are proficient in math, nearly 15 points above the district and over 48 points above the state. In fact, the school improved across all subjects last year, with science jumping 7.6 points to hit 79.0%—its best gain.
However, parents should note some areas for attention. While the school exceeds the state by wide margins, it only slightly outperforms its own district in reading and science overall. In 4th and 5th grade English language arts, Arrington Elementary actually falls 5.9 points behind the district average, with fifth-grade ELA at 65.3%—the lowest score reported. There is also a clear pattern of declining proficiency from 3rd to 5th grade in every subject, suggesting upper-grade curriculum or cohort differences are worth investigating. That said, with per-student spending of $14,571 and a district ranked 3rd in Tennessee, Arrington Elementary remains an academically strong, improving school and an excellent option for families in the area.
