Summary

Greenbrier Elementary School is a PK–5 public elementary school in Greenbrier, TN, enrolling roughly 600 students and serving as a standout within the Robertson County Schools district. Despite the district ranking in the bottom third of Tennessee, Greenbrier consistently outperforms both its district and the state in math, ELA, and science—posting roughly 50% proficiency in each subject in 2025–2026, compared to state averages in the low-to-mid 40s. This isn’t a one-year fluke; the school has held a 15–20 point edge over the district for four straight years.

One of the school’s biggest strengths is attendance. Chronic absenteeism has hovered between 9.8% and 11.6% over the past three years, far below the district’s 15–18% and the state’s 18–20%. That consistency likely helps drive academic results. Greenbrier also shines with specific student groups: low-income students ranked in the 94th percentile statewide in 2023–2024, and female students reached the 87th percentile in 2024–2025. The school’s spending is moderate at about $14,500 per pupil, yet it achieves far better results than nearby higher-spending schools like Cheatham Park Elementary ($19,131 per pupil, ~32–37% proficiency) or Joelton Elementary ($21,945 per pupil).

Within the immediate area, Greenbrier and Watauga Elementary (3.6 miles away) are the clear academic bright spots, with Watauga slightly ahead in math and Greenbrier ahead in ELA and science. Meanwhile, Crestview Elementary, Krisle Elementary, and Cheatham Park Elementary all land in the bottom third of the state. Greenbrier’s overall state rank dipped slightly from 4-star to 3-star territory in 2025–2026, but the long-term trend and subgroup results—especially the rapid rise in low-income student performance from the 56th to 94th percentile over three years—paint a picture of a genuinely effective school. The main areas to watch are a widening gender gap favoring girls and recent volatility among Hispanic and special education students.
