Summary:
Zip code 37032, which encompasses the Cedar Hill area of Tennessee, is served by a single elementary school: Jo Byrns Elementary School, a PK–5 school with 344 students within Robertson County Schools. Because only one elementary school operates in this zip code, there are no peer schools for direct comparison; instead, Jo Byrns' performance is best understood against its district and state averages.
In recent years, Jo Byrns has ranked in the 43rd percentile statewide (581 of 1,019 schools) for 2025–2026, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Math is a relative bright spot: all-grades math proficiency reached 51.8% in 2024–2025, well above the district's 36.4% and the state's 42.2%, though it slipped to 44.1% in 2025–2026. The school's 4th-grade math proficiency of 56.7% stands out as particularly strong, while 3rd-grade math (31.0%) lags the state average by more than 11 points. English Language Arts remains a concern—no grade level meets the state average, with 5th-grade ELA at just 34.7%. Science, however, improved dramatically, jumping from 32.7% to 42.3% year over year.
Attendance is a major strength: the school's chronic absenteeism rate is just 10.6%, compared with 15.5% for the district and 18.3% statewide—roughly 42% below the state average. This strong attendance culture, combined with recent science gains, suggests a solid foundation. Parents should note that overall ELA proficiency (37.1%) trails the state by about 3.5 points, and the gap between 3rd-grade and 4th-grade math outcomes is striking. While Jo Byrns Elementary School outperforms its district's low statewide ranking (Robertson County Schools sits in the 28th percentile), the school's results remain mixed. Per-student spending is reported at $17,151 for 2024–2025, with no comparison available, and free/reduced lunch and student-teacher ratio data were not reported, limiting a full equity analysis.
