Summary
Kenrose Elementary School serves 721 students in grades K-5 in Brentwood, Tennessee, and is part of Williamson County Schools. The school is consistently ranked among Tennessee's best, currently placing 28th out of more than 1,000 elementary schools statewide — a 97th-percentile, 5-star rating. It is surrounded by an exceptional group of same-district schools, including Clovercroft Elementary (ranked 4th) and Lipscomb Elementary (ranked 6th), so while Kenrose is elite, it sits in the upper-middle of a very competitive local field.
Academically, Kenrose shines in math and science. In the most recent testing year, 82.9% of students were proficient in math and 82.6% in science, compared to district rates of 75.1% and 76.9%, and state rates around 43% and 47%. English language arts is also strong by state standards at 74.5% proficiency, but it trails several neighbors — Clovercroft posts 86.7%, Lipscomb 83.8%, and Edmondson Elementary 83.3%. The school's relative advantage is greatest in the early grades; by 5th grade, its math proficiency is right at the district average, suggesting an opportunity for upper-elementary growth.
Kenrose also stands out for extremely low chronic absenteeism, just 5.0% in 2023–2024 versus 18.9% statewide. Its English Language Learner program has been historically exceptional, ranking #1 in Tennessee in two consecutive years, and Hispanic students currently perform in the 98th percentile. One area to watch is the Asian student subgroup, whose state ranking is below the school's overall standard. All of this is accomplished with relatively efficient spending: Kenrose spends about $13,017 per student, less than most neighboring schools, while still achieving top-tier outcomes. That combination of attendance, support systems, and resource efficiency makes Kenrose a reliable, high-performing choice for families.
