Summary

Cheatham Park Elementary School is a small upper-elementary school in Springfield, TN, serving 302 students in grades 3–5 within Robertson County Schools. The school currently ranks in the 26th percentile of Tennessee elementary schools — a 1-star rating that places it below the state average in math, English language arts, and science. But the more important story is momentum: Cheatham Park has climbed steadily from the 8th percentile in 2021–2022 to its current position. Math proficiency has nearly doubled from 19.9% to 37.0%, with similar gains in ELA and science, and the school is closing the gap with both its district and the state.

One of the most distinctive patterns at the school is the grade-level split. Third graders at Cheatham Park actually beat both the district and state in math, with 45.8% proficient. But 4th and 5th grade scores drop sharply, falling well below state averages in every subject. Since the school only serves grades 3–5, this suggests the school may be stronger at early intervention than at sustaining growth through upper elementary — a key area for improvement. Attendance, however, is a clear strength: chronic absenteeism stands at just 9.7%, the second-lowest rate among nearby schools after Pleasant View Elementary (9.2%), and far better than the district's 15.5% and the state's 18.3%.

Cheatham Park spends more per student than any nearby school — $19,131 per pupil — yet schools like Crestview Elementary achieve stronger test scores while spending about $6,500 less per student. That gap raises questions about whether the funding is translating into effective academic support. There is also a notable equity pattern: African American and Hispanic students at Cheatham Park rank higher relative to their statewide peers than White students do, which is a genuine bright spot. Special education outcomes are the biggest concern, with students in that subgroup ranking in the 16th percentile statewide in 2025–2026. Overall, Cheatham Park remains a below-average school academically, but with excellent attendance, strong improvement momentum, and a clear focus point — grades 4 and 5 — it is a school that appears to be moving in the right direction.
