Summary

Gladeville Elementary School is a mid-sized public school in Gladeville, TN, serving 722 students in grades PK–5 as part of Wilson County Schools, a highly regarded Tennessee district ranked 22nd out of 141 districts. The school itself earns a 4-star rating and ranks 219th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools (79th percentile)—a solid result that reflects a gradual slide from its earlier top-decile performance, as it ranked 67th statewide in 2014–2015 and 104th in 2021–2022.

Academically, Gladeville beats state averages by wide margins—56.2% proficiency in math versus 43.0% statewide, 51.8% in ELA versus 40.6%, and 59.6% in science versus 46.9%—but trails the Wilson County district average in every core subject. The school's standout metric is attendance: chronic absenteeism is just 7.3%, roughly half the district rate (15.1%) and less than half the state rate (18.3%). That's among the best of nearby schools, comparable to Rutland Elementary School (7.1%) and Stoner Creek Elementary School (7.3%), and far better than Ruby Major Elementary School (17.3%) or Southside Elementary School (15.6%). Gladeville also delivers these results relatively efficiently, spending $10,760 per student, while lower-performing neighbors like Byars Dowdy Elementary School ($14,626) and Elzie D Patton Elementary School ($14,481) spend considerably more.

The most notable academic pattern is a grade-level drop-off: 3rd graders outperform the district in math and science, but by 5th grade, proficiency falls 7–11 points below district averages in math, science, and ELA. Subgroup results show both promise and inconsistency—low-income students performed at the 87th percentile statewide in 2024–2025, and the school has shown it can serve all students at a high level. If Gladeville can address the upper-elementary slide while maintaining its exceptional attendance, it has a strong chance of returning to the 85th–90th percentile range it occupied just a few years ago.
