Summary

Lakeland Elementary School serves 1,029 students in grades PK–4 in Lakeland, Tennessee, and is part of the Lakeland School System, one of the highest-rated districts in the state. The school has earned a 5-star rating every year reported and consistently ranks in the top 5% of Tennessee elementary schools — most recently #54 out of 1,019 schools, with prior years reaching as high as #21 statewide.

Academically, Lakeland students perform far above state averages in every subject. In math, 80.6% of students are proficient versus 43% statewide, and 4th grade math proficiency reaches 85.4%. The contrast with nearby Memphis-Shelby County Schools is striking: Kate Bond Elementary School and Macon-Hall Elementary School post math proficiency rates of just 23.9% and 23.6%. Even among strong suburban rivals, Lakeland holds its own — it leads Bon Lin Elementary School in all three tested subjects and is very close to Arlington Elementary School in math and science. Only Donelson Elementary School in Arlington clearly outscores it. Chronic absenteeism is also remarkably low at 6.9%, versus 18.3% statewide.

Perhaps the most compelling story is efficiency: Lakeland spends about $12,780 per student — the lowest among nearby schools — while nearby Barret's Chapel Elementary/Middle School spends over $22,000 per student with far lower proficiency rates. Lakeland also posts exceptional results across student subgroups, ranking #1 in Tennessee for low-income and military-connected students in 2024-25, and #4 for African American students. Because the school serves only through 4th grade, its scores reflect 3rd and 4th grade performance, and those early years finish strong. The most recent year shows a slight dip from peak rankings, but Lakeland remains a top-tier, cost-effective choice in the Lakeland/Arlington/Bartlett corridor.
