Summary

Bon Lin Elementary School in Bartlett, TN, is a high-performing public school serving 708 students in grades PK-5 within the highly-rated Bartlett School District. This school consistently earns a 5-star rating and ranks in the top 10% of all elementary schools in Tennessee, significantly outperforming both district and state averages in math, English language arts, and science. For example, 73% of Bon Lin students are proficient in math, compared to just 42.2% statewide, and the school boasts a very low chronic absenteeism rate of 8.7%, indicating a highly engaged student body.

What truly sets Bon Lin apart is its exceptional ability to achieve outstanding results for all student groups, making it a standout for equity in education. The school ranks in the top 5-10% of the state for African American, Hispanic, low-income, and English language learner students, demonstrating that its programs and teaching are highly effective at closing achievement gaps. While nearby Lakeland Elementary School posts slightly higher overall test scores, Bon Lin’s performance is arguably more impressive given its more diverse student body and its context within a great, but not elite, district. Bon Lin also proves highly efficient, spending less per student than some lower-performing schools in the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district while achieving vastly superior academic results.

Bon Lin’s state ranking has shown a clear upward trend over the last four years, moving from the 89th to the 94th percentile, which points to a stable, well-led school with a positive culture that is continuously improving. The only minor anomaly in its otherwise flawless academic profile is a slight dip in 4th-grade English language arts scores, which fell just below the district average. Overall, Bon Lin Elementary is a "rising tide" school that delivers a top-tier education for every child, making it a compelling choice for families in the Bartlett area.
