Summary
Lakeside Park Elementary School is a PK–5 public school in Hendersonville, TN, serving 358 students as part of Sumner County Schools, a district ranked among the stronger in Tennessee. For 2025–2026, Lakeside Park ranks 273rd out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools (73rd percentile, 4 stars), placing it solidly above average. Among nearby schools, it sits in the middle of a competitive group: Indian Lake Elementary and Lakeview Elementary earn 5-star ratings with top-100 ranks, while Walton Ferry Elementary, Gene W. Brown Elementary, and Nannie Berry Elementary fall in a similar 4-star band. Lakeside Park also clearly outperforms several nearby Metro Nashville Public Schools, where proficiency rates are far lower.
Academically, Lakeside Park's strongest subject is English Language Arts, with 55.9% proficiency — well above the state average of 40.6% and the district average of 51.1%. Fifth grade is a standout year: math proficiency reaches 71.1%, ELA 65.9%, and science 66.7%, all comfortably above district and state averages. The school also stands out for its work with student subgroups. African American students rank in the 91st percentile statewide, and low-income students rank in the 90th percentile, both earning 5-star ratings. This suggests the school is effectively closing achievement gaps even while its overall rank remains mid-pack.
Attendance is solid: chronic absenteeism is 11.2%, below both the district rate of 12.2% and the state rate of 18.3%. The school spends about $14,931 per student — the highest among nearby Sumner County elementaries — although that spending has not translated into the top-tier results posted by Indian Lake Elementary, which spends roughly $2,700 less per student. The main areas to watch are 4th-grade science, where proficiency trails the district by about 17 points, and a recent overall rank decline tied to dips among White and Hispanic student subgroups. Even so, Lakeside Park remains a stable, well-rounded school with notable equity strengths.
