Summary

Bartlett Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Bartlett, TN, serving 680 students as part of Bartlett City Schools, a district rated 15th out of 141 in Tennessee. The school is one of the strongest in the region, ranked 140th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools for the 2025–2026 school year with a 4-star rating — a rating it has held consistently since at least 2016–2017. It is also the top-performing elementary school in its district by a noticeable margin, ahead of Altruria Elementary School (191st), Ellendale Elementary School (271st), Rivercrest Elementary School (291st), and Oak Elementary School (299th).

Bartlett's signature strength is English language arts, with a 62.6% proficiency rate that is roughly 22 points above the state average and higher than any peer elementary school in the district. Mathematics (61.0%) and science (59.9%) proficiency are also well above state averages, though the math edge over Altruria is nearly nonexistent. Attendance is another standout: Bartlett's 9.9% chronic absenteeism rate is the lowest among nearby schools and about half the state average. The contrast with nearby Raleigh-Bartlett Meadows Elementary School in Memphis-Shelby County Schools is stark — that school, only a few miles away, has 41.8% chronic absenteeism and single-digit math proficiency.

The school also posts notably strong results for multiple student groups, including African American students, who rank in the top 10% of schools statewide, and students from low-income households. Special education outcomes are the clearest area for improvement, with rankings that have fluctuated in recent years. A mild 5th-grade dip in math and science is also worth monitoring. Overall, Bartlett is on a positive trajectory, improving from 155th to 140th in statewide rank in a single year, and it stands clearly above every comparable school in its area.

What people are saying

Monday, April 25, 2022

They refuse to give the children a proper playground to use for recess. Keep children indoors more often not giving adequate free-play. They include P.E minutes as "recess" in the state of Tennessee the recess law requires two recesses 20 minutes each non-structured play. They take away recess as part of punishment. If there is any standing water on ground or if temperature outside is too hot, kids kept inside and they are not given alternative space to move and run. Year 21-22, 2nd grade children do not get recess until 2:15pm right before school lets out at 3pm.
They keep problematic teachers who are impatient, manipulative, and bully students. 2 stars but really that feels generous. Close Quote
