Summary

Inglewood Elementary School is a small PK–5 school in East Nashville, TN, serving 246 students as part of Metro Nashville Public Schools. The school has historically performed in the bottom quartile of Tennessee elementary schools, but it is showing clear signs of improvement. In 2025–2026, Inglewood ranked 782nd out of 1,019 schools (23rd percentile), up from 905th (10th percentile) the prior year and from 966th (3rd percentile) in 2021–2022. While still in the lower quarter of the state, this upward trajectory is meaningful.

Academically, science is Inglewood's strongest subject, with 37.3% of students proficient — above the district average of 35.4% and comparable to nearby East End Preparatory School. Math (22.9%) and English Language Arts (28.9%) trail district and state averages. Inglewood's 3rd grade students perform surprisingly well, with science proficiency (47.2%) beating the state average and ELA (41.7%) beating the district average. However, scores decline sharply by 5th grade, where only 8.7% of students are proficient in ELA — a much steeper drop than typical district or state patterns. Inglewood sits in the middle of an extreme neighborhood divide, surrounded by some of the highest-performing schools in Tennessee like Lockeland Elementary and Dan Mills Elementary, as well as lower-performing schools like Tom Joy Elementary.

One of Inglewood's clearest wins is attendance. Chronic absenteeism has fallen from 35.2% in 2021–2022 to 19.4% in 2024–2025 — below the district average and nearly matching the state average. This improvement coincides with the school's academic gains. Inglewood spends $21,441 per student, more than several higher-performing nearby schools like Lockeland ($16,612) and Rosebank ($17,214), reflecting the additional resources needed to serve its students. The bottom line: Inglewood is a school in transition. It remains below state averages, but shows real progress in attendance, science, and early-grade performance. The most urgent areas for attention are 5th grade math and ELA.
