Summary

Pegram Elementary Fine Arts Magnet School is a small public elementary school in Pegram, Tennessee, serving 201 students in grades PK through 4 as part of Cheatham County Schools. The school has shown meaningful academic improvement recently, climbing from the 37th percentile statewide in 2024-25 to the 58th percentile (3 stars) in 2025-26.

In the most recent school year, Pegram posted math proficiency of 50% and ELA proficiency of 50% — both comfortably above the district averages of 43% and 37.8%, respectively. Science proficiency, however, came in at 43.8%, slightly below both district and state averages. When compared with nearby schools in the same district, Pegram sits in the middle: Kingston Springs Elementary School (about 3 miles away) ranks at the 87th percentile with much higher proficiency across all subjects, while Ashland City Elementary School (about 11 miles away) ranks lower at the 36th percentile. Pegram also outperforms several nearby Metro Nashville schools in the area.

One of Pegram's standout strengths is attendance — its chronic absenteeism rate was just 7.7% in 2024-25, less than half the district average (14.9%) and well below the state average (18.3%). The school also shows notably strong results with students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking at the 77th percentile for that subgroup in 2024-25. As a fine arts magnet, the school's small size likely supports a personalized, arts-integrated environment. The main challenges ahead are improving science scores and smoothing out year-to-year performance swings, which are amplified by the school's relatively small enrollment. Overall, Pegram is a solid mid-tier elementary school with promising recent trends and a clear attendance advantage over most surrounding schools.
