Summary

Julia Green Elementary School is a K–5 school in Nashville, TN, serving 501 students as part of Metro Nashville Public Schools — and despite its district’s overall 1-star rating, Julia Green is one of the highest-performing elementary schools in Tennessee. It currently ranks #17 out of 1,019 schools statewide (98th percentile) with a 5-star rating, a position it has held consistently for years, including top-35 finishes every year since 2013–2014.

Academically, Julia Green’s proficiency rates are roughly two to three times the state average. For the 2025–2026 school year, 85.5% of students are proficient in math, 86.8% in English language arts, and 81.5% in science, compared to state averages of 43%, 40.6%, and 46.9%. Within its own neighborhood, Julia Green outpaces most nearby schools: it leads Glendale Elementary School in math (85.5% vs. 78.5%) and comes close in ELA, while besting Percy Priest Elementary School in math as well. Its chronic absenteeism rate of just 5.0% is far below the district’s 24.1% and even lower than high-performing neighbors like Waverly-Belmont Elementary School (8.4%) and Sylvan Park Elementary School (8.8%).

Notably, Julia Green achieves these results while spending less per student than any comparable nearby school — $15,834 per student, versus $16,985 at Eakin Elementary School and $23,450 at Cockrill Elementary School, which posts only 12.3% math proficiency. Test scores have remained remarkably stable, with math and ELA both rising over the past three years. The only apparent soft spot is a 5th-grade dip in science (70.6% proficient), still well above state averages. Overall, Julia Green is a consistently elite, cost-effective school that stands as a striking exception inside its low-performing district.
