Summary

Hunters Bend Elementary School is a PK–5 public school in Franklin, Tennessee, serving 361 students as part of Williamson County Schools, the third-ranked district in the state. With 5-star ratings and a 98th-percentile state ranking for three consecutive years, Hunters Bend is one of Tennessee's most consistent top-25 elementary schools, having never fallen below the 95th percentile in over a decade.

Academically, the school's greatest strength is mathematics: 87.9% of students scored proficient in 2025–2026, nearly 45 points above the state average and the highest rate among nearby Williamson County peers like Grassland Elementary (86.3%), Winstead Elementary (82.9%), Pearre Creek Elementary (82.1%), Walnut Grove Elementary (80.5%), and Scales Elementary (76.5%). Science proficiency is also strong at 82.9%, trailing only Grassland among nearby schools. English language arts (78.4% proficient) is solid overall, though it sits slightly below every same-district peer, with Grassland Elementary leading at 88.1%.

The one notable concern is a sharp drop in 5th-grade ELA proficiency to 64.9%, far below 3rd-grade (86.2%) and 4th-grade (87.5%) results. The contrast with nearby Franklin Special School District schools is striking—Poplar Grove K-4 School trails by roughly 28 points in math and 20 points in ELA. Special education rankings also fell from 6th to 74th statewide, though the program remains in the 88th percentile. With $15,973 in per-student spending, a 12.7:1 student-teacher ratio, and a decade of top-5% performance, Hunters Bend remains an exceptional choice for families seeking elite academics in one of Tennessee's premier districts.
