Summary

W A Wright Elementary School is a PK-5 public school in Mount Juliet, TN, serving 538 students as part of Wilson County Schools. While the district itself is strong (22nd out of 141 districts), W A Wright has experienced a sharp decline, ranking 353rd out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools for 2025-2026. This is a significant fall from its 90th-place state ranking in 2020-2021.

Academically, the school trails its local Wilson County Schools peers by wide margins. Math proficiency is 54.4% vs. a 67.4% average at nearby schools, while ELA (47.8% vs. 63.1%) and science (48.5% vs. 65.9%) show similar gaps. Spending is higher than high-performing peers like Lakeview Elementary School and Springdale Elementary School ($13,011 per student), yet results are lower. Chronic absenteeism, at 12.0%, is better than the district (15.1%) and state (18.3%) averages, but the highest among its immediate Wilson County neighbors.

There are specific bright spots. Hispanic students rank in the 73rd percentile statewide, and special education students improved from the 55th to the 73rd percentile. However, 3rd grade is a critical weakness—math proficiency sits at 36.7% vs. a 57.1% district average—even though 4th-grade math exceeds the district average. Just 3.9 miles away, Indian Lake Elementary School in Sumner County posts 85.6% math proficiency, a dramatic contrast to W A Wright’s 54.4%. The data suggests that significant instructional or support changes may be needed to reverse the current downward trend.
