Summary
Trinity Elementary School is a PK–5 public elementary school in Franklin, Tennessee, serving 735 students as part of Williamson County Schools, a district ranked 3rd out of 141 districts statewide. The school consistently earns 5-star ratings and currently ranks 31st out of 1,019 elementary schools in Tennessee, placing it in the 97th percentile. That said, in a county packed with elite schools, Trinity sits in the middle of its immediate peer group: nearby Clovercroft Elementary School ranks 4th in the state, Creekside Elementary School 11th, Oak View Elementary School 18th, Crockett Elementary School 19th, Jordan Elementary School 24th, and Kenrose Elementary School 28th, while Trinity ranks just ahead of Winstead Elementary School (34th) and Arrington Elementary School (39th).
Academically, Trinity's math and English language arts scores are well above both district and state averages—82.7% and 80.1% proficiency respectively, compared with state averages of 43% and 40.6%. Science, however, is the school's weak spot: at 76.5% proficiency, it falls just below the district average of 76.9%, and several nearby schools post much higher science scores, including Clovercroft Elementary School at 87.2% and Creekside Elementary School at 83.1%. The picture improves as students move up: third-grade science starts below the district average (68.3% vs. 73.3%), but by fifth grade Trinity surges to 79.6%, above the district's 74.9%. Fifth-grade math also opens an 8.4-point gap over the district (88.8% vs. 80.4%), suggesting Trinity's upper-grade teachers are particularly effective.
Trinity is also a cost-efficient choice. It spends about $13,045 per student, less than most neighboring Williamson County schools and far less than the $20,000+ per-student spending at Liberty Elementary School and Moore Elementary School in the Franklin Special School District—all while delivering top-tier results. The school does have areas to watch: chronic absenteeism runs around 9–10%, noticeably higher than Crockett Elementary School (5.2%) or Kenrose Elementary School (5.0%), and special education students, while still ranking in the top 11% statewide, represent the school's lowest-performing subgroup. At the same time, Trinity achieves exceptional outcomes for several groups, ranking near the top of the state for Asian, female, and Hispanic students. For families weighing options in Franklin, Trinity offers a strong, efficient education in one of Tennessee's most competitive school districts—just a notch below the very best neighbors.
