Summary

Jack Anderson Elementary School is a large PK–5 school in Hendersonville, Tennessee, serving 829 students in the Sumner County Schools district. The school consistently ranks among the best in the state — it currently sits at 103rd out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools (90th percentile) with a 4-star rating, and it substantially outperforms state averages in every subject: 68% of students are proficient in math, 67.4% in English language arts, and 63.5% in science, versus state averages of 43%, 40.6%, and 46.9%, respectively. Attendance is another standout: only 5% of students are chronically absent, compared with 11.6% across the district and 18.9% statewide.

In a local area packed with excellent elementary schools, Jack Anderson Elementary School remains a top-tier choice, though a few nearby schools have recently pulled ahead. Indian Lake Elementary School (21st in the state) and Liberty Creek Elementary School (27th) now outrank Jack Anderson, particularly in science, where they post proficiency rates above 78% compared to Jack Anderson's 63.5%. The school is efficient with its budget as well, spending $11,174 per student — well below nearby Beech Elementary School ($15,806) and Lakeside Park Elementary School ($14,931) — while producing better results. Fifth-grade math is a notable strength, with 75.9% proficiency, over 16 points above the district average.

The main concern is a widening equity gap. Economically disadvantaged students, who ranked in the 98th percentile statewide in 2023-2024, have fallen to the 44th percentile, and special education students dropped from the mid-70s to the 52nd percentile. Science proficiency has also declined from roughly 69% to 63.5% over the last two years, even as math and ELA stayed stable. Jack Anderson's long history of excellence and strong school-wide systems make it well positioned to reverse these trends, but parents of students receiving additional support may want to ask the school how it plans to address these gaps.

JA won the Sumner Choice Award for Best School 2013 & 2014! Go JA! I'm thankful for teachers who love and truly care about children. Dr A makes everyone feel welcome. I loved volunteering and can't wait for school to start back. My kids love going to art class and going to the new stem science lab. They are already guessing what kind of stem projects they will do this year. Close Quote

I have 3 children at Jack Anderson. This is our second year at the school and I am very impressed with most of the teachers so far. I have a 5th grader with an IEP who has made great strides here thanks to his teachers and amazing IEP team. I have a 1st grader who has had new teachers both last year and this year . In her Kindergarden year she did amazing and had positive reinforcement from her teacher. This year I think her teacher lacks personality and understanding of my child and could be more positive in her teaching style, first graders need that.
I also have a 2nd grader who has had two wonderful years at JAE ! His teacher this year is Ms Bagwell I believe she deserves teacher of the year award for her work. She is truly a gifted teacher and should be a mentor for newer teacher. GREAT school GREAT teachers GREAT principal !!! Close Quote
