Summary:

Zip code 37075 in Hendersonville, Tennessee is home to 9 elementary schools serving PK/K through 5th grade, all part of Sumner County Schools, a 4-star district ranked 33rd out of 141 in Tennessee, and together these schools enroll roughly 4,580 students while outperforming the state average by about 20 percentage points in math and reading.

Indian Lake Elementary School is the clear academic leader, ranking 21st out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools (98th percentile, 5 stars) with the highest proficiency rates in the zip code in every subject — 85.6% in math, 82.2% in ELA, and 81.2% in science — along with a low 5.4% chronic absenteeism rate. Beech Elementary School is a consistent 5-star performer (ranked 81st), and Walton Ferry Elementary School posted the biggest gains, jumping 10 points in math and 12 in ELA. At the other end, George A. Whitten Elementary School is the most challenged, ranking right at the 50th percentile with the lowest scores (38.7% math) and highest absenteeism (13.4%), while Lakeside Park Elementary School showed the steepest decline, dropping 104 spots in state rank.

Spending does not neatly explain outcomes: Dr. William Burrus Elementary School at Drakes Creek spends the least ($10,667 per student) yet ranks in the 90th percentile, while Whitten and Gene W. Brown Elementary School spend above the zip-code average ($13,235) with below-average results. Attendance, however, tracks performance closely — the top schools have absenteeism around 5%, while challenged schools exceed 11%. Overall, eight of the nine schools in 37075 earned 4 or 5 stars, making this a strong school zone where Jack Anderson Elementary School and Nannie Berry Elementary School round out a solid mid-to-upper tier, but the gap between Indian Lake and Whitten highlights real internal inequity.
