Summary:
The Wilson County school district in Tennessee is home to 13 elementary schools serving grades pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The district is ranked 25th out of 139 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. While the schools vary in size, with student enrollments ranging from 368 to 1,327, several stand out for their strong academic performance.
Rutland Elementary is a top-performing school, ranking among the top 78-85 elementary schools in Tennessee and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. It has the highest student enrollment and consistently outperforms the Wilson County and Tennessee averages on state assessments. Lakeview Elementary School and Springdale Elementary School also stand out, ranking among the top 89-106 and 56-110 elementary schools in the state, respectively, and earning 4-5 stars from SchoolDigger.
While the majority of the schools serve a traditional PK-5 grade span, the schools with a wider grade span (PK-8) tend to have lower academic performance. Additionally, the schools with the highest spending per student do not necessarily have the best academic outcomes, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as instructional practices and school leadership, play a significant role in student achievement. Overall, the data highlights the diversity of elementary schools within the Wilson County district, with some standout high-performing schools and others struggling to meet state benchmarks.
