Summary

East Robertson Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Cross Plains, TN, serving 603 students within Robertson County Schools, a district that ranks in the bottom third of Tennessee. Despite the district’s low overall standing, East Robertson ranks near the state median (522nd of 1,019 elementary schools), and it outperforms its district on every tested subject — math, ELA, and especially science, where 46.1% of students are proficient versus 38.7% district-wide. The school has also shown strong upward momentum: after ranking in the 29th percentile in 2022–23, it now sits at the 49th percentile, with math proficiency jumping from 29.3% to 43.4% over that same period.

East Robertson stands out in a few specific areas. Science is a clear strength, with 4th grade science proficiency at 56.4% — well above the state average. Special education outcomes are another positive outlier: students with IEPs ranked at the 70th percentile statewide in the most recent year, far above the school’s overall rank. Chronic absenteeism has also dropped from 22.6% to 13.8% over the past three years, now below both district and state rates. And while low-income students ranked at just the 11th percentile in 2024–25, they jumped to the 56th percentile in 2025–26 — a dramatic, though still new, improvement.

Compared with nearby schools, East Robertson is a solid mid-tier option. It substantially outperforms Krisle Elementary, its closest same-district peer, while spending about $2,000 less per student. It also beats several Sumner County schools like J W Wiseman Elementary and Clyde Riggs Elementary. But White House Heritage Elementary posts better ELA outcomes (50.3% vs. 39.9%), and Oakmont Elementary is in a separate league entirely. The main challenges are inconsistent 3rd-grade scores, lower 5th-grade ELA, and a persistent gender gap favoring boys. Still, the overall trajectory is positive — with continued gains in low-income and special education outcomes, East Robertson could soon move solidly into the upper half of Tennessee elementary schools.
