Summary

Granbery Elementary School is a K–5 school in Brentwood, TN serving 769 students as part of Metro Nashville Public Schools. Despite its district's low overall ranking, Granbery has historically been a solid performer: in 2025-2026 it ranked in the 68th percentile (3 stars) among Tennessee elementary schools, down from the 87th percentile just two years earlier. The school significantly outperforms its district, with 53.5% of students proficient in math, 52.3% in ELA, and 48% in science, compared to MNPS averages of 32.4%, 31.8%, and 35.4%.

One of Granbery's biggest strengths is attendance. The school's chronic absenteeism rate was 10.8% in 2024-2025, compared to 23.3% for the district and 18.3% statewide — a meaningful asset since students are consistently showing up ready to learn. Granbery also spends less than most nearby MNPS elementary schools at $15,786 per student while producing better outcomes than many peers, making it a relatively efficient use of resources.

However, Granbery faces some challenges. Proficiency has trended downward, with science dropping from 59.8% in 2023-2024 to 48% in 2025-2026, and 5th grade is a particular concern — ELA and science proficiency (34.9% each) fall below state averages. High-performing nearby schools don't show this pattern; for example, Glendale Elementary's 5th grade ELA proficiency is 83.3%. Granbery also sits between two very different groups of schools: it's far above low-performing MNPS schools like Paragon Mills, but well behind Edmondson Elementary in Williamson County Schools, which achieves 84.8% math proficiency compared to Granbery's 53.5%. Subgroup performance also varies widely — Hispanic students rank at the 4th percentile while White students rank at the 88th — meaning the school's overall rank masks uneven outcomes for different groups of students.
