Summary

Lipscomb Elementary School is a K-5 school in Brentwood, TN, serving 532 students as part of Williamson County Schools, one of Tennessee's highest-performing districts. Lipscomb consistently ranks among the top 1% of elementary schools in Tennessee, placing 6th out of 1,019 schools statewide in 2025–2026 with a 5-star rating.

What truly sets Lipscomb apart is its decade-long consistency: it has finished in the top 12 of Tennessee elementary schools every year since 2013–2014, with no volatility. Its science proficiency rate of 87.5% is the highest among nearby schools, narrowly edging out Clovercroft Elementary School (87.2%) and besting Grassland Elementary School, Edmondson Elementary School, and Crockett Elementary School. The school also shines in special education, ranking in the top 5 of 641 schools statewide in 2025–2026 — a rare achievement even among elite schools. Lipscomb's results are strong across subgroups: female students rank 7th statewide, male students 12th, and white students 8th.

Lipscomb outperforms highly regarded Percy Priest Elementary School in math and science, despite Percy Priest being one of Nashville's best. While Clovercroft edges out Lipscomb in math and ELA overall, Lipscomb's science scores lead the local cluster. The one soft spot is a 5th-grade ELA dip to 78% proficiency, down from 89.1% in 4th grade — still well above state and district averages but below top peers like Clovercroft (86.5%). At $14,102 per student, Lipscomb also achieves better results than some nearby schools that spend more, such as Crockett ($15,760) and Grassland ($15,026). For families seeking an elite, stable, and equitably excellent school in the Brentwood area, Lipscomb is one of the very best options.

What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, January 12, 2015

Some staff are fantastic, however, the majority seem depressed and it is obvious to the students. This is most likely the cause of the current principle whom is not hands on and usually out of the office or school campus. I have never seen a school rely so heavily on it's PTO parents whom actually work the phones and other school staff type of responsibilities like directing visitors at the front office called the "Welcome Desk." It was a happier, better moral before the current principle was reassigned to Lipscomb Elementary. Close Quote
