Summary

Carroll Oakland Elementary School serves 741 students in grades PK–8 in Lebanon, TN, a growing community within Wilson County Schools, one of Tennessee's strongest districts (22nd out of 141). The school itself is more mid-pack, ranking 470th out of 1,019 elementary schools (54th percentile) with 3 stars in 2025-2026. That puts it below nearby Jones Brummett Elementary School (73rd percentile), Tuckers Crossroads Elementary School (72nd), Southside Elementary School (70th), and Castle Heights Elementary School (63rd). It's roughly on par with Sam Houston Elementary School and Coles Ferry Elementary School, and well above Guild Elementary School (26th).

Academically, the school is a mixed picture. Math (46.6%), science (46.9%), and social studies (51.3%) proficiency are close to state averages, but English Language Arts (37.0%) trails the state average of 40.6% and is far below the Wilson County Schools average of 54.4%. The most distinctive pattern is the grade-level split: 3rd-graders score well below state averages, while 6th- and 8th-graders outperform them significantly. The standout is advanced math — 91.7% of 8th-grade Algebra I students were proficient in 2023-2024, versus 27.5% statewide — pointing to a strong upper-grade math pathway.

Attendance is a clear bright spot: chronic absenteeism has held near 11-12% for years, well below district and state averages. The school spends comparatively less than neighbors — $11,762 per student versus $14,776 at Tuckers Crossroads Elementary School and $14,559 at Guild Elementary School — yet Guild ranks far lower, suggesting spending alone doesn't drive outcomes. The most urgent concern is special education: students in that subgroup ranked at the 0th percentile statewide in 2024-2025 and 5th percentile in 2025-2026, a steep drop from the 50th percentile the prior year. Low-income students have historically done well (72nd-85th percentile) but slipped to 57th percentile in 2025-2026. Bottom line: Carroll Oakland is a solid middle-ranked school with excellent attendance and strong middle-school math, but it's held back by weak early-elementary results, below-average ELA, and low special education outcomes.

Baffled how this school operates and not surprised to see it at a two star rating. The vast majority of the staff is to be frank, not fit for the task. Not sure how some of them tie their own shoes in the morning to be honest. Close Quote
