Summary

West Elementary School is a K–5 school in Mount Juliet, Tennessee, serving 849 students in the Wilson County Schools district. The school has been a consistently strong performer for the past decade, earning 4-star or 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger and ranking 109th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools in the 2025–26 school year — placing it in the 89th percentile statewide. In math and English language arts, West outperforms the district by 7 to 9 points and exceeds the state average by more than 20 points.

Among nearby Wilson County elementary schools, Rutland Elementary, Springdale Elementary, Lakeview Elementary, Mt. Juliet Elementary, and Stoner Creek Elementary all ranked slightly above West in statewide percentile, but West is clearly in the upper tier. The contrast with Elzie D. Patton Elementary, just 1.89 miles away, is striking: Elzie Patton spends about $4,000 more per student, yet West outperforms it by roughly 20 points in math and ELA. West achieves these results while spending $10,474 per student — less than most nearby elementary schools.

One of West's most distinctive strengths is how well it serves students who are often underserved elsewhere. Its English Language Learner students rank in the top 5% statewide, Hispanic students in the top 3%, and low-income students in the top 4%. Chronic absenteeism is 9.2%, well below the district's 15.1% and the state's 18.3%, though it has crept up from 5.2% a few years ago. The main areas to watch are science, where West now sits right at the district average, and Special Education, where results have dipped over the past three years. Fourth graders are a standout cohort, with math proficiency at 76.4% and science at 70.8%.

The school is 50 years old and the building clearly shows its age. West continuously ranks near the bottom of Wilson County on test scores. There are many good teachers, however the grade levels lack unity and a clear vision. I attribute many of the issues to the new principal, who does not appear to have the skills required to bring the team together. The principal appears more concerned with being liked and not hurting feelings, instead of taking the steps needed to improve the school s performance and the quality of education. Close Quote
