Summary

Elzie D Patton Elementary School is a PK–5 public school in Mount Juliet, TN, serving 461 students as part of Wilson County Schools, one of Tennessee's top-ranked districts. The school currently holds a 3-star rating and ranks in the 62nd percentile of Tennessee elementary schools for the 2025-2026 school year, a step down from its 4-star, 84th–85th percentile performance in 2020-2021 and 2021-2022. Academically, Elzie D Patton exceeds Tennessee state averages in math, English language arts, and science, but it trails its own district by meaningful margins—roughly 9 to 13 percentage points in each subject.

Within Wilson County's strong cluster of elementary schools, Elzie D Patton has the lowest math and ELA proficiency rates among its nearby peers. Lakeview Elementary, Rutland Elementary, Springdale Elementary, and Mt. Juliet Elementary all post math proficiency rates 20–26 points higher and ELA rates 20–28 points higher, while W A Wright Elementary is the only nearby school with lower science scores. The school also spends more per student than any nearby same-district elementary—$14,481 in 2024-2025 versus roughly $10,000–$13,000 at peers—making the performance gap even more striking. Compared with Metro Nashville Public Schools options like Dodson Elementary School and Ruby Major Elementary School, however, Elzie D Patton performs considerably better.

The school has genuine bright spots. It ranks in the 90th percentile statewide for English Language Learner students, and has shown strong recent improvement for special education and low-income students. Chronic absenteeism is also better than district and state averages at 9.6%. The biggest pressure point is upper elementary: 5th-grade ELA proficiency sits at just 36.8%, more than 20 points below the district average. While science has improved over the past four years, math and ELA have not kept pace with district improvement.

Horrible communication from teacher and principle. Horrible attitude from staff and teacher. Most of all, lack of communication! Will be changing schools soon. Close Quote
