Moore Elementary School

Moore Elementary School in Franklin, Tennessee, serves 496 students in grades PK–4 and is part of the Franklin Special School District, a 5-star district ranked 10th out of 141 districts statewide. Moore itself earns 5-star ratings and ranks 48th out of 1,019 elementary schools in Tennessee (95th percentile), making it the highest-ranked school in its district. Proficiency rates are roughly double the state averages — math (76.9% vs. 43.0%), English language arts (76.9% vs. 40.6%), and science (72.2% vs. 46.9%) — while chronic absenteeism sits at just 5.4% compared to 18.9% statewide.

Moore delivers exceptional results for English Language Learners, ranking as high as 2nd in the entire state in recent years and 93rd percentile in 2025–2026. White and African American students rank in the 95th–97th percentiles statewide, while Asian students have improved dramatically from the 25th to 91st percentile over five years. Special Education outcomes remain above average (75th percentile, 4 stars) but represent the school's clearest opportunity for improvement. Hispanic student performance dipped recently to the 78th percentile after several strong years in the 94th–96th percentile range, so this is a group worth watching.

Interestingly, Moore achieves elite results while spending less per student ($20,021) than several same-district peers — Johnson Elementary School and Poplar Grove K-4 School both spend over $25,000 yet rank much lower. However, nearby Williamson County Schools like Creekside Elementary School, Hunters Bend Elementary School, and Oak View Elementary School post even higher scores. Moore's grade-level trends also tell an interesting story: math proficiency climbs from 3rd grade (74.5%) to 4th grade (80%), while ELA dips slightly (78.7% to 74.7%). For parents, Moore is a consistently excellent, stable choice that has remained in the top 8% of Tennessee schools for over a decade.
