Summary

Stewarts Creek Elementary School is a large K–5 school in Smyrna, Tennessee, serving 1,173 students within Rutherford County Schools. The school has built a strong reputation for academic excellence, ranking in the 89th percentile statewide (111th of 1,019 elementary schools) in 2025–2026 and earning 4 stars. Over the past decade, it has consistently placed in the top 10–15% of Tennessee elementary schools, with 4 or 5 stars every year. It is the highest-performing traditional zoned elementary school in its area, second only to Thurman Francis Arts Academy/Magnet School for the Arts, a K–8 magnet school.

Stewarts Creek's test scores far exceed district and state averages. In 2025–2026, 74.2% of students scored proficient in math (vs. 53.6% district and 43.0% state), 62.0% in English Language Arts (vs. 47.0% district and 40.6% state), and 62.8% in science. Among nearby non-magnet schools, only Brown's Chapel Elementary School comes close. The school also excels with student subgroups: African American students ranked in the 96th percentile statewide, low-income students in the 96th percentile, and English Language Learners in the 94th percentile.

Attendance is another strength. Stewarts Creek's chronic absenteeism rate was just 6.2%, far below the district's 11.9% and the state's 18.9%. The school achieves these results while spending $12,554 per student—less than lower-performing nearby schools like Smyrna Primary School and Cedar Grove Elementary School. The one area of concern is special education, where performance has declined from the 84th to the 49th percentile over two years. Still, Stewarts Creek remains an exceptional school, proving that a large traditional zoned school can deliver top-tier results at scale.
