Summary

Madison Creek Elementary School in Goodlettsville, Tennessee, serves 566 students in grades PK-5 within the Sumner County Schools district, and it is one of the top-performing elementary schools in the state. For the 2025-2026 school year, Madison Creek ranks 97th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools, placing it in the 90th percentile with a 5-star rating — a distinction it has earned every year since at least 2016-2017.

Madison Creek's academic results far exceed district and state averages. In math, 72.9% of students are proficient, compared with 58.8% for the district and 43.0% statewide. English Language Arts proficiency is 63.1% (district: 51.1%; state: 40.6%), and science is 68.9% (district: 57.2%; state: 46.9%). Chronic absenteeism is exceptionally low at 6.0%, less than one-third of the state rate of 18.3%. Strong results hold across student groups, including special education students, who improved from the 33rd percentile in 2023-2024 to the 91st percentile in 2025-2026. The relative soft spot is 5th grade ELA at 55.3% proficiency — still above district and state averages, but below the school's own 3rd and 4th grade results.

The gap with nearby Metro Nashville Public Schools is stark. Goodlettsville Elementary School, just 2.8 miles away, has 17.6% math proficiency and 21.7% ELA proficiency, while Amqui Elementary School posts 17.4% math and 16.4% ELA, and Gateway Elementary School records 37.9% math proficiency. Madison Creek's results are more than triple some of these neighbors' scores. The school also achieves these outcomes efficiently, spending $11,626 per student — less than Millersville Elementary School ($16,230), Gene W. Brown Elementary School ($14,176), and Goodlettsville Elementary School ($18,107). Within Sumner County, Madison Creek is joined by Beech Elementary School (ranked 81st) and Dr. William Burrus Elementary School at Drakes Creek (ranked 106th) in a high-performing cluster. The only notable concern is the low-socioeconomic-status subgroup, which has slipped from the 75th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 38th percentile in 2025-2026.
