Lockeland Elementary's students excel on state assessments, with over 90% proficient or better in both Mathematics and English Language Arts. The school's academic performance is vastly superior to nearby schools in the Davidson County district, such as Ida B.

Lockeland Elementary's consistent high performance, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger since 2012-2013, is particularly noteworthy.
