Summary

Lockeland Elementary School is a K–5 public school in Nashville's East End that serves 347 students and, despite being part of Metro Nashville Public Schools — a district ranked in the bottom 11% of Tennessee districts — is one of the highest-performing elementary schools in the state. In 2025–2026, Lockeland ranked #2 out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools, placing in the 100th percentile with a 5-star rating. This is not a one-year anomaly: the school has ranked among the top 20 schools statewide every year since 2013–2014, including #2 finishes three times since 2021–2022.

Lockeland's test scores are nothing short of extraordinary. On the 2025–2026 TNReady assessments, 93.3% of students were proficient in math, 90.9% in English language arts, and 94.5% in science. Those rates are roughly three times the district average and more than double the state average. Even more notable is how Lockeland performs for specific student groups: it was ranked #1 in Tennessee for special education outcomes in 2024–2025, #3 for female students, and #6 for male students. The special education ranking is especially striking, as many top-performing schools struggle to serve these students at the same level.

The gap between Lockeland and nearby schools is dramatic. Nashville Classical East has a 51.5% math proficiency rate and Rosebank Elementary reaches 50.7% in math and 60.7% in ELA — both far behind Lockeland's results. Lockeland also achieves these outcomes while spending $16,612 per student, less than every nearby elementary school, several of which spend over $20,000 per student. For parents seeking a school that delivers elite academic results, sustains excellence year after year, and serves all students well, Lockeland stands out as an exceptional choice.
