Summary

Mill Creek Elementary School is a K-5 school in Nolensville, Tennessee, serving roughly 625 students as part of the highly regarded Williamson County Schools district, which ranks among the top districts in the state. The school has consistently earned a 5-star rating and currently sits at #51 out of more than 1,000 Tennessee elementary schools, placing it in the 95th percentile statewide.

Academically, math is Mill Creek's clear strength, with about 79% of students scoring proficient — more than 36 points above the state average and above the district average as well. ELA scores are also strong at 73% proficiency, while science, at 73%, trails the district average slightly, though that gap has narrowed considerably in recent years. One thing parents may want to keep an eye on is the 4th-grade cohort, where ELA and science scores fall noticeably below district averages even as math remains solid. Since 3rd and 5th grades look much healthier, this appears to be a grade-level pattern worth monitoring rather than a school-wide concern. The school also shows notable bright spots in serving specific student groups, with Hispanic students earning a top-10 statewide ranking and special education students improving significantly over the past two years.

Within its immediate neighborhood, Mill Creek is a high-performing peer but not the top option. Nearby Jordan Elementary School and Kenrose Elementary School post higher scores in every subject, while Sunset Elementary School has nearly identical math results. Mill Creek does outperform its closest neighbor, Nolensville Elementary School, by a solid margin in all three subjects. District boundaries also make a dramatic difference: schools just a few miles away in Rutherford County or Metro Nashville show far lower proficiency rates, and Mill Creek achieves its results at a lower per-student cost than several of those schools. Overall, Mill Creek offers a top-tier education with exceptional math instruction and a few clear areas for growth.
