Summary

Winstead Elementary School is a PK–5 public school in Franklin, TN, serving 567 students as part of Williamson County Schools, one of Tennessee's highest-performing districts with a #3 statewide ranking and 5-star rating. The school itself has earned a 5-star rating in every reported year, ranking #34 out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools (97th percentile) in the most recent year. Over the past decade, it has ranked between #10 and #53 in the state, never falling below the 94th percentile. The school operates with a student-teacher ratio of roughly 13:1 and spent $15,742 per student in 2024–2025.

Winstead's academic proficiency is far above district and state averages. In 2025–2026, 82.9% of students were proficient in math (vs. 75.1% district and 43% state), 78.5% in English Language Arts (vs. 70.5% district and 40.6% state), and 76.9% in science — matching the district average but far exceeding the state's 46.9%. Math proficiency improves as students advance, growing from 80.5% in 3rd grade to 85.7% in 5th grade, while ELA dips from 84.1% in 3rd grade to 75.9% in 5th grade — below Creekside Elementary School's 78.0% and Oak View Elementary School's 81.0%. Chronic absenteeism is very low at 6.6% (state: ~20%), and subgroup results are notable: Hispanic students ranked #3 in the state in 2024–2025, female students ranked #9, and male students ranked #20.

The school is very strong, though it isn't the highest-performing elementary in its immediate Williamson County Schools cluster. Creekside Elementary School (#11), Oak View Elementary School (#18), Hunters Bend Elementary School (#23), and Pearre Creek Elementary School (#33) all rank slightly higher in most subjects, while Thompson's Station Elementary School (#61) trails in all subjects. Winstead dramatically outperforms nearby schools in the Franklin Special School District, including Moore Elementary School (#48), Franklin Elementary School (#56), Liberty Elementary School (#116), Poplar Grove K-4 School (#180), and Johnson Elementary School (#218) — all while spending less per student. Special education scores have improved from a 66th-percentile ranking in 2023–2024 to the 87th percentile in 2024–2025, and science scores fluctuated from 84.3% to 76.9% year over year. Overall, this is a top-tier school in one of Tennessee's strongest districts, with consistent excellence and a few areas — 5th-grade ELA and science — worth monitoring.
