Summary

Rutland Elementary School is a large public elementary school in Mount Juliet, Tennessee, serving 1,371 students in grades PK–5 as part of Wilson County Schools. The school has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for nearly a decade and currently ranks 74th out of 1,019 elementary schools statewide, placing it in the 93rd percentile. Wilson County Schools itself ranks 22nd out of 141 districts in Tennessee, and the school consistently outperforms both district and state averages across all tested subjects.

Academically, the school posts impressive proficiency rates: 74.7% in math, 67.6% in English language arts, and 69.9% in science—well above district averages of 62%, 54.4%, and 64.1%, respectively. Among its local rivals, it ranks at the top, edging out Springdale Elementary, Lakeview Elementary, Mt. Juliet Elementary, and Stoner Creek Elementary in statewide ranking. The school also posts the highest 3rd-grade math proficiency (73.6%) among nearby elementary schools. What is especially noteworthy is that the school achieves these results despite its size—enrollment of 1,371 is nearly triple that of Lakeview Elementary—and delivers strong outcomes for students from a wide range of backgrounds.

The school also stands out for attendance and efficiency. Chronic absenteeism is just 7.1%, far below the district rate of 15.1% and the state rate of 18.3%. The school spends approximately $10,541 per student, which is below the average of its peers and far less than the $14,481 spent per student at Elzie D. Patton Elementary, a school that earns only 3 stars. For families, this combination of top-tier academics, low absenteeism, and cost-effective operations makes Rutland Elementary School a standout choice in Mount Juliet and across Tennessee.
