Summary
Stoner Creek Elementary School is a large PK–5 school in Mount Juliet, TN, serving 1,043 students in Wilson County Schools, and it has earned a 5-star rating with a #99 statewide rank (90th percentile) among 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools in 2025-2026. Proficiency rates that year reached 68.8% in math, 65.2% in English language arts, and 69.2% in science — comfortably above the district averages of 62%, 54.4%, and 64.1%, and well ahead of state rates that hover around 40–47%. The school also improved meaningfully from its #134 rank the previous year.
What really sets Stoner Creek apart is its consistency and efficiency. Its chronic absenteeism rate was just 7.3% in 2024-2025, roughly half the district rate of 15.1% and less than half the state rate of 18.3%. Within the immediate Wilson County cluster, Springdale, Rutland, Lakeview, and Mt. Juliet rank slightly higher, while West, W.A. Wright, and Elzie D. Patton rank below. Just across the district boundary, Metro Nashville Public Schools campuses like Dodson, Tulip Grove, and Ruby Major — only 5–6 miles away — post math proficiency rates of just 28–43% and spend nearly twice as much per student. Stoner Creek also delivered strong results across student subgroups and was a standout in 5th grade, with math proficiency at 77.6%, ELA at 69.2%, and science at 73.3%.
The school is notably cost-efficient, spending $9,953 per student in 2024-2025 — the lowest among nearby Wilson County elementary schools, compared with Elzie D. Patton's $14,481. One area worth watching: 4th grade math proficiency (63.9%) dipped slightly below the district average of 65.1%, even as 5th grade math soared. Since 2014-2015, Stoner Creek has ranked at or above the 82nd percentile nearly every year, with no below-average showing in the available data — a track record that points to sustained, reliable effectiveness rather than a one-year spike.
