Summary

Goodlettsville Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Goodlettsville, Tennessee, part of the Davidson County school district. With 431 students enrolled, the school consistently underperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests, with only 19% of students proficient or better in Math compared to 31.9% in Davidson County and 42.2% statewide.

Goodlettsville Elementary struggles across a range of metrics, including high chronic absenteeism rates and poor performance among student subgroups. The school ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Tennessee elementary schools, performing worse than most nearby schools in the Davidson County district, such as Bellshire Elementary, Chadwell Elementary, and Stratton Elementary. However, it does outperform a few other low-performing schools in the area, like Amqui Elementary.

Despite spending a relatively high amount per student, the school's performance does not seem to improve. Goodlettsville Elementary has a higher student-teacher ratio than some of the better-performing nearby schools, which may be a contributing factor. However, the school's English Language Learner (ELL) students have performed relatively well, ranking in the top quartile of Tennessee elementary schools for ELL students in recent years, suggesting there may be some bright spots worth exploring further.
