Summary:
The 37035 zip code contains a single school, West Cheatham Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 and has an enrollment of 337 students. The school is part of the Cheatham County School District, which is ranked 64th out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
West Cheatham Elementary has maintained relatively consistent proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science across the 3rd and 4th grade levels, as well as overall, over the past two school years. However, the school's statewide ranking among Tennessee elementary schools has fluctuated, dropping from 259th in 2023-2024 to 402nd in 2024-2025, despite maintaining a 4-star rating in the previous two years and a 3-star rating in the most recent year. This suggests that the school's performance may be on par with or slightly above the state average, but its relative ranking can vary due to changes in the performance of other schools.
The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 18.9% in the 2023-2024 school year is an area that could be further investigated to understand the underlying factors and potential strategies for improvement. Additionally, with a spending per student of $14,288 and a student-teacher ratio of 12.5, West Cheatham Elementary appears to have a relatively high level of resources and a favorable student-teacher ratio compared to state or national averages, which may contribute to its academic performance.
