Summary:

The Cheatham County school district in Tennessee consists of 14 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 4 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district's performance is relatively consistent, with some standout schools like Kingston Springs Elementary and Harpeth High School significantly outpacing the county and state averages.

The data reveals that Kingston Springs Elementary and Harpeth High School are the top-performing schools in the district, with 5-star and 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger, respectively. East Cheatham Elementary also stands out for its excellent math and science scores. However, the district as a whole faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, an issue that may need to be addressed.

While the majority of Cheatham County schools perform around the county and state averages, the data highlights the importance of strong elementary education, as the top-performing schools tend to have students who continue to excel in middle and high school. The district's alternative school, Riverside Academy, and virtual school, Cheatham County Virtual School, face unique challenges, with lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates.
