Summary

Beech Elementary School is a public school in Hendersonville, Tennessee, serving 407 students in grades PK–5 as part of Sumner County Schools. This smaller-sized school has an outstanding track record: it has earned a 5-star rating every year since 2016–17 and currently ranks 81st out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools, placing it among the top 10% statewide. Students at Beech Elementary School consistently outperform district and state averages by wide margins — most recently with 72.8% proficiency in math, 67.6% in English language arts, and 71.1% in science. These figures run roughly 14–17 points above the district average and 24–31 points above the state average.

One of Beech Elementary School's most impressive strengths is its work with special education students, who ranked in the 96th percentile statewide — an exceptional result, since this is a subgroup where many schools struggle. The school also has a strong attendance culture, with chronic absenteeism historically around 6%, roughly half the district rate. Its standout 4th-grade cohort achieved 85% proficiency in math, while 3rd-grade scores, though still above district averages, are a relative area to watch. Families should also note a gentle decline in math proficiency over the past four years — from 76.8% to 72.8% — though scores remain well above state benchmarks.

When compared with nearby schools, Beech Elementary School is one of the top performers in the Sumner County area, ranking second only to Liberty Creek Elementary School among nine comparable elementary schools. It outperforms Nannie Berry Elementary School by 16 points in math, 13 points in ELA, and 21 points in science, and also edges out Jack Anderson Elementary School. Interestingly, the school spends more per student than most neighbors ($15,806), yet Liberty Creek Elementary School achieves slightly better results with about $5,000 less per student — a reminder that school success depends on many factors beyond funding. For parents, its smaller size, consistent top-tier rankings, and strong support for special education students make it a compelling choice.
