Summary

Lakeview Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Nashville, TN, serving 675 students as part of Metro Nashville Public Schools, and it currently ranks in the bottom decile of Tennessee elementary schools. The school’s statewide standing has slipped over the past few years, falling from the 21st percentile in 2023–2024 to the 8th percentile in 2025–2026, which corresponds to a 0-star rating. Academic proficiency is well below both district and state averages: 21.8% of students are proficient in math, 19.2% in English language arts, and 18.2% in science.

Compared with nearby traditional elementary schools, Lakeview trails most of its peers. Its math proficiency rate of 21.8% is lower than Mt. View Elementary School (40.8%), Cane Ridge Elementary School (38.3%), Smith Springs Elementary School (31.4%), and Thomas A. Edison Elementary School (30.8%), while only surpassing Eagle View Elementary School and J. E. Moss Elementary School. Nearby charter options show even starker differences: KIPP Antioch College Prep Elementary School achieves 54.6% ELA proficiency and 46.4% math proficiency, while Rocketship Dream Community Prep School posts 40.8% in ELA.

There are some genuine bright spots. Lakeview’s chronic absenteeism rate is just 13.1%, far better than the district’s 23.3% and better than most nearby schools, showing that students are consistently showing up. However, the school spent $22,973 per pupil in 2023–2024, and that high spending has not produced strong outcomes. The recent math decline — from 37.7% proficiency in 2023–2024 to 21.8% in 2025–2026 — is a major concern, as is the fact that only 14% of 3rd graders are proficient in math. On a more hopeful note, African American students at Lakeview ranked in the 65th percentile statewide in 2023–2024, suggesting that certain approaches have worked in the past and could be studied and expanded.
