Summary

Crieve Hall Elementary School is a K–5 public elementary school in Nashville, TN, serving 489 students and ranking among the top 8% of elementary schools in Tennessee despite being part of Metro Nashville Public Schools, a district that overall ranks in the bottom 11% statewide. With a 5-star rating and a #79 ranking out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools, Crieve Hall sits in the 92nd percentile — a remarkable outlier within a district where many schools struggle. The school has been consistently high-performing for over a decade, and its ranking has climbed in recent years, from 120th in 2023–2024 to 79th in 2025–2026.

Crieve Hall's academic results dwarf district and state averages. In the most recent testing year, 74.5% of students were proficient in math — more than double the district's 32.4% — while 70.1% were proficient in English language arts, roughly 2.2 times the district rate. Science proficiency reached 67.7%, also well above state averages. The gap with nearby schools is just as pronounced. Norman Binkley Elementary, located less than a mile away, shows math proficiency of just 42.3%, and Granbery Elementary, about 1.3 miles away, reaches 53.5%. Only Glendale Elementary posts higher numbers among neighboring schools. Crieve Hall's chronic absenteeism rate is also exemplary at 6.2%, less than a third of the district's 23.3%.

Subgroup performance is another strength. Students from low socio-economic backgrounds ranked in the 94th percentile statewide, while English language learners ranked in the 82nd percentile — evidence that the school supports diverse learners effectively. Crieve Hall achieves these outcomes while spending $17,246 per student, less than several nearby lower-performing schools. The areas to watch include a dip in 5th grade science proficiency (53.2% versus roughly 72% in earlier grades) and a gradual decline in ELA proficiency across grade levels. Still, Crieve Hall's combination of strong academics, excellent attendance, and efficient spending makes it one of the most compelling school choices in Middle Tennessee.

Open Quote Dr. Miley is the a great principal and brings a lot of energy to the school environment.
And so are all the teachers. Campus may be small but the teachers really work hard to make a lot of difference. Enrichment and Encore programs help to sharpen the STEM skills. Close Quote

Open Quote Parents are the saving grace. Do not expect your child to get individual anything from these people. Principal is absolutely horrific to deal with. Office staff is essentially incompetent and uninformed, incapable of answering even the simplest of questions. Teachers are of course the same as any school and it's hit or miss based on the individual. Unfortunately we only got lucky on 1 out of 5. Close Quote
