of 1,019 Tennessee Elementary Schools

Better than 19% of Tennessee elementary schools

Summary

Tulip Grove Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Hermitage, Tennessee, serving 613 students as part of Metro Nashville Public Schools. The school currently holds a 1-star state rating, placing it in the bottom fifth of Tennessee elementary schools. Proficiency rates in math (30.7%), English language arts (29.5%), and science (29.6%) all fall below both the district and state averages. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern at 21.8%, above the state rate of 18.3%.

Tulip Grove’s results lag many nearby schools. Just over two miles away, Andrew Jackson Elementary posts proficiency rates roughly 17–29 points higher in every subject. Across the county line in Wilson County Schools, Springdale Elementary and Mt. Juliet Elementary achieve 70%+ proficiency with per-pupil spending around $12,000—about $6,500 less than Tulip Grove. Even Dodson Elementary, just 0.68 miles away with nearly identical absenteeism, outperforms Tulip Grove in math by 12 points. Despite this, there is a positive trend: math proficiency has risen from 20.1% to 30.7% over three years, and ELA and science have improved as well.

Encouragingly, African American and low-income students at Tulip Grove have improved significantly over the last two years, now ranking near the 45th and 31st percentiles statewide for their subgroups, respectively. However, English Language Learners and special education students remain major concerns, ranking in the bottom 13% and 10% statewide. Fourth grade stands out as a bright spot, with proficiency in all subjects noticeably higher than 3rd or 5th grade. While the school is far from where it needs to be, the recent momentum and targeted gains suggest Tulip Grove may be able to climb out of the 1-star category in the coming years.
