Summary

Haywood Elementary School is a PK–5 elementary school in Nashville, TN, enrolling 666 students in the Metro Nashville Public Schools district. The school currently ranks in the bottom quintile of Tennessee elementary schools (12th percentile, 1 star), with proficiency rates well below district and state averages in math (25.4%), English language arts (21.0%), and science (22.5%). However, Haywood stands out for its strong attendance: the chronic absenteeism rate is just 13.7%, compared to 23.3% for the district and 18.3% for the state.

Haywood has shown real signs of progress. The school climbed from the 3rd percentile in 2023–24 to the 15th percentile in 2024–25 before settling at the 12th percentile in 2025–26. Math proficiency more than doubled between 2023–24 and 2024–25, from 13.1% to 29.7%. That said, a striking pattern emerges by grade level: 3rd graders score within a few points of district averages in math and science, but by 5th grade, proficiency falls more than 20 points behind the district in math and ELA. The school also shows uneven results across student groups—English Learner students rank in the 31st percentile statewide, a major improvement from the 7th percentile the previous year, while students receiving special education services remain in the 12th percentile.

Compared with nearby schools, Haywood's story is mixed. Crieve Hall Elementary School, just 2.88 miles away, achieves roughly 70% proficiency in every subject with similar per-pupil spending. Meanwhile, Aventura Community School has more than double Haywood's chronic absenteeism rate yet posts nearly double the ELA and science proficiency. Haywood spends about $18,481 per student, broadly in line with neighboring schools, so funding alone doesn't explain the outcomes. The clearest path forward appears to be strengthening instruction in grades 4–5, where the sharpest academic declines occur, while building on the school's notable success with attendance and its English Learner population.

What people are saying

by a teacher
Friday, November 21, 2014

The principal is very vindictive and does not treat staff adequately. Over the past 3 years, nearly 28 teachers have either retired, moved schools, or quit teaching entirely. The high turnover of teachers does not help create a healthy student environment. Teachers fear their administrators, and do not have a voice. There is no sense of trust between admin and the teachers. Close Quote
