ZIP code 37064 in Franklin, Tennessee, is served by 17 schools—9 elementary, 4 middle, and 4 high schools—educating 10,978 students across two of the state's top districts: Williamson County Schools (ranked #3 in Tennessee) and Franklin Special School District (ranked #10). All 17 schools belong to these two 5-star districts, and most individual schools earn 4 or 5 stars, making this one of the strongest education markets in the state. Even the lowest-ranked traditional schools here generally outperform Tennessee state averages, and every brick-and-mortar school scores above state averages in most tested subjects.
At the elementary level, Creekside Elementary School leads the ZIP code, ranked #11 of 1,019 statewide with 88.7% math proficiency, followed closely by Oak View Elementary School (#18). Among middle schools, Fred J Page Middle School is the standout at #10 of 594, with strong social studies (84.2%) and science (80.7%) scores and low chronic absenteeism of just 5.5%.

Notably, spending does not predict performance: Johnson Elementary School spends the most ($26,738 per student) yet ranks lowest among the area's elementary schools, while Fred J Page High School spends the least ($11,864) yet posts the highest graduation rate. Williamson County Schools averages $15,247 per student versus $22,300 for Franklin Special School District, yet WCS schools generally post higher proficiency rates. The clearest outlier is Vanguard Virtual High School, the only school rated below 4 stars, with Algebra II proficiency of just 25% versus the district's 73.5%. High school chronic absenteeism runs from 10.5% to 24.1%—well above the district average of 7.4%—but this area remains an exceptionally strong choice for families.
