Summary:

Zip code 37087, serving the Lebanon, Tennessee area, contains 14 schools with roughly 8,500 students spanning pre-K through 12th grade, split between Wilson County Schools and Lebanon Special School District. Lebanon High School is the top-ranked high school, improving to the 74th percentile with a 95.4% graduation rate, while Jones Brummett Elementary leads elementary schools in overall ranking. Tuckers Crossroads Elementary boasts the highest average proficiency (56.8%) across all subjects, with exceptional 8th-grade math and science scores, though its 3rd-grade math lags far behind. Walter J. Baird Middle School is the top middle school with 92% proficiency in Algebra I, and has improved its ranking three straight years.

Overall, Wilson County Schools ranks higher as a district (84th percentile) than Lebanon Special School District (66th percentile), but individual schools tell a more nuanced story. Lebanon Special produces the area’s best middle school (Baird) and a top elementary (Jones Brummett), while Wilson County’s Southside Elementary also ranks well. Both middle schools show a standout pattern: 8th-grade Algebra I proficiency near or above the state average, yet grade-level math proficiency remains below state averages, suggesting advanced math is strong for a select group while broader support is still needed. Several elementary schools, including Coles Ferry and Byars Dowdy, have low chronic absenteeism, but secondary and alternative schools struggle with attendance.

Spending does not always predict results: Barry Tatum Academy spends $32,700 per student yet has the lowest proficiency and a 40.6% chronic absenteeism rate, while Lebanon High spends the least among traditional schools and still performs well. Big ranking declines at Castle Heights, Sam Houston, and Carroll Oakland may reflect cohort changes. Grade-level inconsistencies are striking, such as Tuckers Crossroads’ 3rd-grade math at 27.5% versus its 8th-grade math at 77.8%, pointing to very different experiences by grade. For parents, the data suggests that school choice within this zip matters far more than district reputation alone.
