Summary

Bethpage Elementary School is a small K–5 school in Bethpage, Tennessee, serving 254 students as part of Sumner County Schools, a district ranked in the top quartile statewide. The school holds a 4-star rating and ranks 292nd out of 1,019 elementary schools in Tennessee, placing it at the 71st percentile for 2025–2026. Its ranking history shows mostly 4-star years over the past decade, with a standout 5-star performance in 2014–2015 and a brief pandemic-era dip before recovering.

One of Bethpage's most striking strengths is how well it serves students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Its low-SES students have ranked in the 89th–97th percentile statewide over the past three years, an exceptional equity result that outpaces the school's overall 71st-percentile rank. The school also keeps chronic absenteeism consistently below district and state averages — just 10.9% in 2024–2025 compared to 18.3% statewide. Academically, 3rd graders shine in math (67.4% proficient vs. 50.6% district) and science (65.1% vs. 51.1%). The challenge comes in upper grades: by 5th grade, ELA proficiency drops to 39.5%, nearly 13 points below the district average.

Compared to its neighbors, Bethpage is a dependable, above-average option. It outperforms Westmoreland Elementary (43rd percentile), Clyde Riggs Elementary (32nd), and Guild Elementary (26th) by wide margins. However, Union Elementary — about 9.6 miles away — shows what's possible within the same district, achieving 5-star, 94th-percentile results while spending less per pupil. Bethpage invests $15,010 per student, reflecting real commitment, but its upper-grade slide and ELA gap indicate room for growth. With its strong early STEM foundation and outstanding outcomes for underserved students, Bethpage has the potential to become one of the region's top schools if it can extend that success into 4th and 5th grade literacy.
