Summary

Andrew Jackson Elementary School is a PK–5 public school in Old Hickory, TN, serving 493 students as part of Metro Nashville Public Schools. The school stands out sharply within its district: while the district as a whole ranks in the 11th percentile statewide, Andrew Jackson ranks in the 69th percentile with a 3-star rating, placing it 315th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools.

Andrew Jackson's test scores are dramatically higher than both the district average and every nearby MNPS elementary school. In 2025–2026, 59.9% of students were proficient in math, 46.4% in ELA, and 49.6% in science—compared to district averages of 32.4%, 31.8%, and 35.4%. The school leads nearby schools like Pennington Elementary School, Dodson Elementary School, and DuPont Elementary School by wide margins in math and science. It has also improved steadily over the past three years, with math proficiency up 15.2 percentage points and ELA up 11.6 percentage points since 2023–2024.

Chronic absenteeism at Andrew Jackson Elementary School is just 12.6%, well below the MNPS rate of 23.3% and lower than every neighboring MNPS school. The school also spends less per student ($17,484) than all of its MNPS neighbors, making its strong results particularly notable. Nearby districts like Sumner County Schools and Wilson County Schools host even higher-performing schools such as Indian Lake Elementary School and Mt. Juliet Elementary School, but Andrew Jackson remains clearly the strongest MNPS elementary in its cluster. The main areas to watch are subgroup consistency: special education students and low-income students have shown significant year-to-year swings, so families with students in these groups may want to check in with the school about current supports.
