Summary

Warner Elementary School is a PK-5 public elementary school in East Nashville, TN, serving 394 students as part of Metro Nashville Public Schools. The school currently ranks in the bottom quarter of Tennessee elementary schools (779th of 1,019, 24th percentile) with a 1-star rating, a modest decline from its 2-star rating in 2023-24, though it has improved significantly since ranking in the 7th percentile in 2020-21.

Warner's clearest academic strength is English Language Arts. In 2025-26, 36.8% of students were proficient in ELA, beating the district average of 31.8% and nearly matching the state average of 40.6%. This outpaces nearby Hattie Cotton Elementary School (18.4%), Jones Elementary School (17.8%), and Napier Elementary School (8.5%). Math is a different story: only 27.8% of Warner students are proficient versus 43% statewide, and 4th grade math is especially concerning at 23.3% proficiency compared to 41.1% districtwide. Science proficiency sits at 30.7%, below the district (35.4%) and state (46.9%), though it has climbed 18 points since 2022-23. By comparison, Nashville Classical East School posts much stronger math and science scores, while KIPP Kirkpatrick Elementary School and Explore Community School show similar math results to Warner.

Chronic absenteeism has improved from 42% in 2020-21 to 26.3% in 2024-25, though it remains above the district average of 23.3% and state average of 18.3%. The school's per-pupil spending of $19,155 is comparable to higher-performing Shwab Elementary School and well above Lockeland Elementary School, the state's #2-ranked school, suggesting resources alone aren't driving outcomes. The most pressing concern is the wide achievement gap: White students rank in the 88th-93rd percentile statewide, while low-income students rank in the 6th percentile and special education students in the 18th percentile. Closing these gaps, addressing the 4th grade math slide, and continuing to reduce absenteeism are the school's biggest opportunities for growth.
