Summary
Arrington Elementary School in Arrington, TN, serves 715 students in grades PK–5 and is part of Williamson County Schools, one of the highest-performing districts in Tennessee. Arrington is a 5-star school, ranked 39th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools in 2025–26 (96th percentile statewide), and it sits among an exceptionally strong cluster of Williamson County elementary schools. While neighbors like Clovercroft (#4), Creekside (#11), Jordan (#24), College Grove (#25), Kenrose (#28), and Trinity (#31) rank higher, Arrington outperforms Bethesda (#41), Mill Creek (#51), Sunset (#57), and Nolensville (#75).
Arrington’s signature strength is mathematics. With 85.3% of students proficient in math—compared to 75.1% for the district and 43.0% statewide—it trails only Clovercroft, Creekside, and Jordan among nearby schools. Third-grade math proficiency is especially impressive at 91.1%. Special education outcomes are exceptional as well: Arrington ranked 21st out of 641 schools statewide (97th percentile) in 2025–26, a remarkable result for this subgroup. The school also spends $14,571 per student, among the highest in the cluster, which may reflect investments in staffing, inclusion models, and targeted interventions. Across nearly every student subgroup, Arrington scores in the 90th percentile or higher, indicating broad-based academic success.
The clearest opportunity for growth is English Language Arts. Arrington’s ELA proficiency of 71.9% sits slightly above the district average (70.5%) but trails many nearby peers, including Clovercroft (86.7%), Creekside (82.9%), and Trinity (80.1%). The school shows a notable decline from 3rd grade (79.2% proficient) to 5th grade (65.3%), falling roughly six points behind the district in the upper grades. Science is solid at 79.0% proficient, though not elite compared to the strongest neighbors. Arrington posted its best state rank in 2025–26, with broad improvements across math, ELA, and science, and its math-to-ELA gap of 13.4 points is the largest among nearby high-performing schools. Strengthening literacy instruction and comprehension in grades 4 and 5 would be the clearest path to joining the very top tier of schools in this highly competitive area.
