Summary

Krisle Elementary School is a PK-5 school in Springfield, TN, serving 364 students as part of Robertson County Schools, a district ranked 102nd out of 141 in Tennessee. The school's 1-star state rating places it in the 14th percentile of Tennessee elementary schools, making it the lowest-ranked school in its local cluster. For context, nearby schools rank notably higher: Cheatham Park Elementary School sits at the 26th percentile, Crestview Elementary School at the 34th, Jo Byrns Elementary School at the 43rd, and Greenbrier Elementary School and Watauga Elementary School in the mid-to-upper 60s.

Academically, Krisle trails its neighbors in every subject. In the latest testing year, math proficiency was 29.0%, English language arts was 23.9%, and science was 21.9% — all well below district and state averages. Cheatham Park Elementary School, the next-lowest school in the cluster, posted 37.0% in math and 31.9% in ELA, while higher-performing nearby schools like Greenbrier Elementary School and Watauga Elementary School scored roughly 10 to 25 percentage points better across all subjects. Attendance is another area of concern. Krisle's chronic absenteeism rate of 18.2% is the highest among neighboring schools, compared with 9.7% at Cheatham Park and 11.6% at Greenbrier, although it has improved from 26.3% in 2020-21.

There are encouraging signs worth noting. Fifth-grade math proficiency reached 45.5%, nearly matching the state average of 47.4%, and overall math proficiency jumped from 17.8% to 29.0% in a single year. Several student subgroups, including low-income students and English language learners, also showed strong gains. Krisle spends $15,995 per student — more than most nearby schools — and has a low student-teacher ratio of 12.3, indicating the school has solid resources. The challenge now is turning those resources into consistent academic growth and better attendance across all grade levels.
