Summary
Nolensville Elementary School is a K–5 school in Nolensville, Tennessee, serving 883 students as part of Williamson County Schools, one of the highest-rated districts in the state. The school holds a 5-star rating and ranked 75th out of 1,019 elementary schools statewide in 2025–2026, placing it in the 93rd percentile. Proficiency rates are well above state averages: roughly 74% of students are proficient in math, 68.5% in English language arts, and 68.4% in science, compared to state rates of 43%, 40.6%, and 46.9%, respectively.
Within its own district, however, Nolensville is the lowest-ranked among six nearby Williamson County elementary schools. Edmondson Elementary ranks 15th in the state, Jordan Elementary ranks 24th, Kenrose Elementary ranks 28th, Mill Creek Elementary ranks 51st, and Sunset Elementary ranks 57th. Nolensville trails these peers in every subject—most noticeably in science, where it posts 68.4% proficiency versus a nearby Williamson average of 78.9%. By contrast, Nolensville dramatically outperforms schools just a few miles away in other districts, such as Rock Springs Elementary in Rutherford County and A.Z. Kelley Elementary and Henry C. Maxwell Elementary in Metro Nashville Public Schools, which post math proficiency rates in the 20s and 30s.
Nolensville's strengths include very low chronic absenteeism (5.6% versus 20.3% statewide), efficient spending at $13,487 per student compared to $17,000–$18,000 at nearby Metro Nashville schools, and exceptional outcomes for African American and Hispanic students, who consistently rank in the 94th–99th percentile statewide. Areas worth watching include a recent dip in special education rankings, softer results for Asian students, and a pattern of 5th-grade scores slipping in ELA and science even as math improves. Overall, Nolensville is an excellent school in absolute terms; its biggest opportunity is closing the gap with the very best schools surrounding it.
