Summary

Oakmont Elementary School is a small K–5 public school in Cottontown, Tennessee, serving just 128 students as part of Sumner County Schools. Despite its tiny size, Oakmont is one of the highest-performing elementary schools in the state, earning 5-star ratings and ranking in the top 10% of Tennessee elementary schools for several consecutive years. On the most recent state tests, 76.9% of Oakmont students were proficient in math and 75.6% were proficient in English language arts — far above the district averages of 58.8% and 51.1%, respectively, and well beyond state averages. Science proficiency was lower at 59%, though that still slightly exceeded district and state averages.

What makes Oakmont particularly notable is how it compares to other schools in its immediate area. Nearby schools like Portland Gateview Elementary School, J W Wiseman Elementary School, Clyde Riggs Elementary School, and Watt Hardison Elementary School post math proficiency rates between 27% and 45% — meaning Oakmont outperforms them by 30 to 50 percentage points. The school also spends heavily per student at $18,047, and maintains a low student-teacher ratio of around 12:1, which helps explain the individualized attention students receive. However, high spending alone doesn't tell the full story — Liberty Creek Elementary School, located about 7.7 miles away, spends roughly $7,500 less per student yet slightly outperforms Oakmont in math and ELA. Oakmont's small enrollment also means test scores can swing noticeably from year to year as different grade cohorts move through the school.

On the whole, Oakmont serves its students very effectively, with strong proficiency across male and female student groups. Chronic absenteeism has historically been a strength — just 6.5% in 2023-2024 — though it rose to 13.2% in 2024-2025, still below the state average of 18.3%. For parents in the Cottontown and Portland area, Oakmont stands out as a top-tier elementary option, with the caveat that such a small school may see more year-to-year variation in rankings and scores than a larger school would. The main areas to watch are science achievement and the recent uptick in absenteeism, but overall Oakmont's academic record is exceptional.
