Summary

Heritage Elementary School is a K–5 elementary school in Thompsons Station, Tennessee, serving 585 students as part of Williamson County Schools. In 2025–2026, Heritage ranked 63rd out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools — the 94th percentile with a 5-star rating — continuing a steady climb from 111th in 2021–2022. This places it among elite company: Winstead Elementary School ranks 34th, Bethesda Elementary School 41st, and Amanda H. North Elementary School 45th, while Longview Elementary School (68th) and Chapman's Retreat Elementary School (150th) trail behind.

Heritage performs far above state averages in every subject. In 2025–2026, 75.1% of students were proficient in math, 73.7% in English Language Arts, and 71.7% in science, versus state averages of 43.0%, 40.6%, and 46.9%. ELA is a particular standout, exceeding the district average of 70.5%. The school also has exceptionally low chronic absenteeism — just 5.2% in 2022–2023 and 6.1% in 2021–2022, compared to roughly 20% statewide. Perhaps most remarkable is the special education turnaround: Heritage ranked 10th out of 641 Tennessee schools for special education students in 2025–2026 (98th percentile), up from the 47th percentile just two years earlier.

Third-grade scores are exceptional, with math (78.6%), ELA (81.6%), and science (75.5%) all above district averages. By fifth grade, however, math (70.4% vs. 80.4% district) and science (66.3% vs. 74.9% district) slip below district peers. Heritage also sits mid-pack in math among nearby schools: Winstead Elementary School posts 82.9%, Amanda H. North Elementary School 82.3%, and Bethesda Elementary School 81.2%, versus Heritage's 75.1%. The contrast with Maury County Schools just miles away is striking — Marvin Wright Elementary School, Battle Creek Elementary School, and Spring Hill Elementary School score 20–25 points lower in every subject, highlighting the significant advantage of Williamson County's resources. Heritage's $14,906 per-student spending is mid-range locally, yet the school delivers top-tier results.
