Summary

Woodland Middle School is a public middle school in Brentwood, TN, serving 957 students in grades 6–8 as part of Williamson County Schools, a district ranked #3 out of 141 in Tennessee. Woodland has been one of the highest-performing middle schools in the state for years, ranking #2 in Tennessee in 2025–2026, #1 in 2024–2025, and never falling below #12 in the past eight years. That consistency places Woodland in the top 1% of the state's roughly 590 middle schools year after year.

Woodland's test scores are exceptional in every subject. In 2025–2026, proficiency rates reached 82.5% in math, 79.8% in English language arts, 86.5% in science, and 91% in social studies—roughly 39–40 percentage points above state averages across the board. The school also outperforms every nearby middle school, including Brentwood Middle School, Sunset Middle School, Grassland Middle School, and Mill Creek Middle School. Math proficiency climbs from 70.6% in 6th grade to 88.1% in 7th grade, and 8th graders taking Algebra I posted a 93.6% proficiency rate, far above the district's 48.7%. The one soft spot is 8th-grade ELA at 77.4%—still very strong compared with state (32.3%) and district (62.7%) averages, but the lowest relative performance in the school's profile.

Woodland achieves these results efficiently. Per-student spending is $12,267, lower than nearby Grassland and Brentwood Middle Schools, and far below many Metro Nashville Public Schools that spend $17,000–$21,000 per student yet post far lower proficiency rates. Chronic absenteeism is just 5.2%, about a quarter of the state average of 18.9%, which supports consistent learning. Student subgroup performance is also strong: Woodland ranked in the top 12% statewide for African American and Special Education students, and in the top 10 for Asian, White, and Hispanic students. The main items to monitor are slight dips in those first two subgroup rankings and the 8th-grade ELA trend, but overall Woodland represents a model of sustained, high-level academic achievement.
