Summary

Bethesda Elementary School is a K-5 public school in Thompsons Station, Tennessee, serving 561 students in Williamson County Schools, a district ranked 3rd out of 141 in the state. The school has earned a 5-star rating every year since 2014-2015 and ranked 41st out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools in 2025-2026 — a big jump from 87th the prior year.

Math is Bethesda's clear academic strength: 81.2% of students scored proficient in 2025-2026, well above the district's 75.1% and nearly double the state average of 43%. Among nearby schools, only Creekside Elementary School (88.7%) and College Grove Elementary School (85.0%) posted higher math proficiency. Bethesda also delivers exceptional results for Hispanic students — ranking 3rd out of 458 schools statewide — and for students receiving special education services, who ranked 14th statewide in 2023-2024. English Language Arts proficiency (73.4%) is above the district average but trails Creekside (82.9%) and College Grove (75.6%).

One area to watch is 5th grade, where math proficiency drops to 76.1% (below the district's 80.4%) after strong 3rd and 4th grade results, and science (75.7%) sits slightly below the district. Chronic absenteeism, which spiked to 15.0% in 2021-2022, has fallen to 7.3%, matching the district. Per-student spending of $14,302 is mid-range for the area: higher-performing Creekside spends less ($12,563) while lower-performing Longview Elementary School spends more ($18,044). Bethesda outperforms Heritage Elementary School, Thompson's Station Elementary School, Allendale Elementary School, and Chapman's Retreat Elementary School, though it trails Creekside and College Grove. The contrast with nearby Maury County Schools is stark: Spring Hill Elementary School (59.2% math) and Marvin Wright Elementary School (53.6%) lag far behind.
