Summary:

Wilson County Schools in Tennessee serves 13 elementary schools — nine traditional K-5/PK-5 campuses and four PK-8 schools — with a combined enrollment of 9,326 students, and ranks 22nd out of 141 Tennessee districts (84th percentile, 4 stars). The schools range in size from just 352 students at Tuckers Crossroads Elementary School to 1,371 students at Rutland Elementary School, the district's largest campus.

Five schools earned 5-star ratings for 2025-26 and rank in the top 100 of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools: Rutland Elementary School (74th), Springdale Elementary School (76th), Lakeview Elementary School (78th), Mt. Juliet Elementary School (85th), and Stoner Creek Elementary School (99th). Lakeview posts the highest math proficiency (75.6%) and ELA proficiency (71.7%) in the district, while Springdale has the lowest chronic absenteeism (5.0%) and the highest science proficiency (73.1%). Mt. Juliet made the largest one-year jump, climbing from 160th to 85th with double-digit gains in math and ELA. Stoner Creek achieves top-100 status while spending the least per student ($9,953), making it an efficiency standout.

The district's clearest pattern is the divide between elementary-only schools and PK-8 schools. The nine K-5/PK-5 schools average a state rank around 165, while the four PK-8 schools — Southside Elementary School, Carroll Oakland Elementary School, Watertown Elementary School, and Tuckers Crossroads — average around 327, with nearly double the chronic absenteeism and significantly lower proficiency. Attendance tracks achievement closely: all five 5-star schools have absenteeism below 8%, while the lowest-ranked schools average about 12.3%. Spending does not predict performance — Tuckers Crossroads spends the most ($14,776) but ranks 283rd, while low-spending Stoner Creek and West Elementary School ($10,474) both rank in the top 110. For parents, the strongest options are the elementary-only schools, particularly Lakeview, Rutland, Springdale, Mt. Juliet, and Stoner Creek.
