Summary

Westwood Elementary School in Fairview, TN, is a pre-K–5 school serving 538 students as part of Williamson County Schools, a district ranked 3rd in Tennessee. The school carries a consistent 4-star rating and ranked 223rd out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools in 2025-26, placing it in the 78th percentile statewide.

Westwood consistently outperforms Tennessee state averages — by roughly 17 points in math, 14 in reading, and 10 in science — but trails its own district by 15–20 points in every subject. The clearest concern is 3rd grade: math proficiency sits at 45.6% compared with 76.6% districtwide, and reading shows an even larger 34-point gap. By contrast, Westwood's 4th graders nearly match district averages, evidence that the school is capable of far stronger results. The school also shows notable equity gaps: economically disadvantaged students dropped from the 62nd to 29th percentile statewide over two years. Chronic absenteeism (9.8%) is roughly half the state's 18.3% but above the district's 7.4%.

Compared with nearby elementary schools, Westwood lands in the middle. Pearre Creek Elementary School (97th percentile), Kingston Springs Elementary School (87th), and Fairview Elementary School (82nd) all rank higher — as do Stuart Burns Elementary School in Dickson County Schools and Harpeth Valley Elementary School in Metro Nashville Public Schools, districts ranked well below Williamson County Schools. Westwood spends $15,835 per pupil — more than higher-performing neighbors like Kingston Springs ($12,796) and Stuart Burns ($12,290) — yet outcomes lag. The bottom line: Westwood is a solid, stable school by state standards with clear opportunities to improve early-grade performance, close subgroup gaps, and bring absenteeism in line with the district average.

Open Quote Large class sizes up to 1/25. Retaliation to students and parents for asking questions about curriculum and disciplinary policy. Lots of busy work by use of chromebook and worksheets. No professionalism or accountability by administrators. Teacher has been great! Close Quote
