Summary

Jo Byrns Elementary School serves 344 students in grades PK–5 in Cedar Hill, TN, as part of Robertson County Schools. The school ranks 581st out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools (43rd percentile), putting it solidly in the middle of the pack — and notably ahead of its district, which ranks in the 28th percentile statewide. Within Robertson County, Jo Byrns sits above Krisle Elementary, Cheatham Park Elementary, and Crestview Elementary, though it trails Greenbrier Elementary and Coopertown Elementary.

Jo Byrns has several clear strengths worth celebrating. Chronic absenteeism has fallen to 10.6% — nearly half the state average of 18.3% and better than most nearby schools. Math is the strongest subject, with 44.1% proficiency that roughly matches the state average, led by an especially strong 4th grade cohort (56.7% proficient). Special education students also perform above the school's overall ranking. And the school has rebounded impressively since 2022–2023, when it ranked in the 20th percentile; math proficiency has nearly doubled since then.

That said, there are areas of concern. ELA and science proficiency trail state averages, and low-income student results have been volatile — dropping from the 73rd percentile to the 15th percentile in the latest year. The school also spends more per student ($17,151) than higher-performing peers like Sango Elementary, Carmel Elementary, and Pleasant View Elementary, which raises questions about cost-effectiveness. Still, with small class sizes, an attendance advantage, and a clear upward trajectory, Jo Byrns is a reasonable middle-tier choice — though the big question is whether it can convert those strengths into more consistent reading and science gains.
