Better than 10% of Tennessee elementary schools

Summary

Hull-Jackson Elementary School serves 312 students in grades PK–5 in Nashville's Metro Nashville Public Schools. The school's overall academic performance is well below state averages — proficiency rates were 20.2% in math, 21.3% in English language arts, and 15.7% in science, compared with state averages of 43%, 40.6%, and 46.9%. Its statewide ranking has been volatile, swinging from the 30th percentile in 2020–2021 to the 10th percentile in 2025–2026, but a closer look reveals several notable bright spots.

Attendance is a clear strength. Hull-Jackson's chronic absenteeism rate was just 15.3% in 2024–2025, better than the district average of 23.3% and the state average of 18.3%, and far below nearby Park Avenue Elementary (39.9%) and Murrell at Glenn (42.9%). The school also shows strong grade-level growth: while only 13.5% of 3rd graders were proficient in math and ELA, 5th graders reached 32% in math and 36% in ELA — with the 5th-grade ELA rate actually exceeding the district average. Special education students rank at the 31st percentile statewide, a relative bright spot.

Among immediate neighbors, Hull-Jackson is middle-of-the-pack. It outperforms Jones Elementary (10.8% math), Cockrill Elementary (12.3% math), and Park Avenue, but trails far behind Purpose Prep (61% math, 64% ELA) and Shwab Elementary (49.6% math). Hull-Jackson spends $21,638 per student — more than Purpose Prep's $19,048 — yet outcomes don't reflect that spending. Recent gains from 2024–2025 have partially faded, and with just 312 students, rankings can swing substantially from year to year. Multi-year trends are more meaningful than any single year's score.
