Summary

Grassland Elementary School is a K-5 school in Brentwood, Tennessee, serving 428 students as part of Williamson County Schools. It ranks #10 out of 1,019 elementary schools in Tennessee, placing it in the top 1% statewide within a district ranked #3 out of 141 in Tennessee. For over a decade, Grassland has never fallen below #33 in statewide rankings and has earned a 5-star rating every reported year. Among nearby schools, only Lipscomb Elementary ranks higher at #6; Hunters Bend Elementary (#23), Walnut Grove Elementary (#29), Percy Priest Elementary (#20), and Scales Elementary (#47) all trail behind.

Grassland's academics are exceptional across all subjects, with proficiency rates roughly double the state average. In 2025–2026, 88.1% of students were proficient in English language arts — the highest among nearby schools, outpacing Percy Priest Elementary (85.9%), Lipscomb Elementary (83.8%), Walnut Grove Elementary (81.5%), Scales Elementary (79.0%), and Hunters Bend Elementary (78.4%). Math proficiency stands at 86.3% and science at 84.9%, both well above district and state averages. The school's 3rd-grade scores are especially strong, with 93.1% proficiency in both math and ELA. Most notably, Grassland's special education students have ranked as high as #1 in the state and have remained in the top 12 for three consecutive years — a powerful indicator of the school's commitment to supporting all learners.

Beyond test scores, Grassland shows strong attendance and efficient use of resources. Chronic absenteeism is just 5.6%, far below the district rate of 13.3% and the state rate of 20.3%. With 428 students, Grassland is smaller than several nearby schools, yet it outperforms all of them in ELA. The school spends $15,026 per student — moderate compared with peers — yet achieves results that surpass schools with significantly higher spending. Grassland's consistency is its defining trait: a top-30 school in Tennessee for every recorded year, with multiple top-10 finishes. For Brentwood families, Grassland represents one of the strongest elementary options in the region.
