Summary

Kingston Springs Elementary School is a K–4 public school in Kingston Springs, TN, serving 316 students as part of Cheatham County Schools. Despite attending a district that ranks near the middle of Tennessee school systems, Kingston Springs consistently stands out as one of the state's strongest elementary schools, ranking 129th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools (87th percentile) with a 4-star rating in 2025–2026, after earning a 5-star rating the year before.

The academic results at Kingston Springs Elementary School are impressive across every subject. In 2025–2026, 69.7% of students scored proficient in math, 60.6% in English language arts, and 62.9% in science—rates roughly 20 to 27 percentage points above district averages and 16 to 27 points above state averages. The 4th grade math proficiency rate of 83.1% was the highest among all nearby schools, and the school outperformed Fairview Elementary School and Westwood Elementary School in Williamson County Schools—one of Tennessee's top-ranked districts—in both math and ELA. The contrast with Ashland City Elementary School, just 13 miles away in the same district, is particularly striking: Kingston Springs posts nearly double the proficiency rates in every subject.

The school also excels at supporting all students. Chronic absenteeism has stayed below 10% for three straight years (compared to 23.1% at Ashland City), and special education students rank in the 88th percentile statewide—a dramatic jump from the 57th percentile just two years earlier. Low-income students rank in the 83rd percentile, and both male and female students rank in the high 80s or above. Kingston Springs achieves all this while spending $12,796 per student, significantly less than many nearby schools like Pegram Elementary Fine Arts Magnet School ($15,812) and Harpeth Valley Elementary School ($15,982). The only note of caution is a modest dip in test scores in 2025–2026, but the school remains firmly in the top 13% of elementary schools statewide.
