Summary

Fall-Hamilton Elementary School is a small public school serving 273 students in grades PK-5 at 510 Wedgewood Avenue in Nashville, TN, within the Metro Nashville Public Schools district. The school currently ranks in the 16th percentile of Tennessee elementary schools (852nd out of 1,019), placing it in the lower quintile, though slightly above its district's overall 11th-percentile standing. After dipping to the 9th–10th percentile in 2020–2021, the school climbed back to the 16th–22nd range before a small step back this year.

The most distinctive feature of Fall-Hamilton's 2025–2026 test results is a pronounced 4th grade spike. While 3rd grade proficiency sits at just 14.8% in both math and ELA, and 5th grade hovers around 15–20%, 4th graders posted proficiency rates of 44.8% in math, 44.8% in ELA, and 48.3% in science — the latter nearly matching the state average and 11 points above the district. This pattern is not seen to the same degree in nearby schools, suggesting a strong grade-level team or targeted intervention. If the school can figure out what worked in 4th grade and apply it more broadly, its overall ranking could rise.

The clearest recent win is attendance. Chronic absenteeism fell from 28.0% in 2023–2024 to 17.4% in 2024–2025 — now below both district (23.3%) and state (18.3%) averages, and far better than nearby Napier (49.2%) and Explore Community (34.5%). Meanwhile, Fall-Hamilton spends about $21,650 per student, notably more than Waverly-Belmont Elementary School ($16,783) and Eakin Elementary School ($16,985), two schools within a couple of miles that rank in the 91st and 82nd percentiles. That gap highlights that higher spending doesn't guarantee better outcomes, but with attendance improving and a standout 4th grade cohort, Fall-Hamilton has a realistic chance to climb out of the bottom quintile — provided it extends its 4th grade success to other grades and keeps the attendance momentum going.
