Summary:

Zip code 37186 contains four schools serving 1,795 students across two rural Tennessee counties: two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. Three schools — Westmoreland High School, Westmoreland Middle School, and Westmoreland Elementary School — belong to Sumner County Schools, while Westside Elementary School is part of Macon County Schools. This split creates a natural comparison between two different district systems serving the same community.

Westside Elementary School is the standout, ranking in the 70th percentile with 61.3% math proficiency, 48.6% ELA proficiency, and an exceptional 6.7% chronic absenteeism rate, all while spending the least per student at $13,453. Westmoreland Middle School is a close second, ranking in the 79th percentile with 8th grade math proficiency of 67.1%, nearly 29 points above the state average. Westmoreland High School ranks in the 82nd percentile and posts impressive numbers in Algebra I, Geometry, and US History, but English scores run about 10 points below district averages and its 87.7% graduation rate lags the district's 93.4%. Westmoreland Elementary School is the relative weak link, ranking in the 43rd percentile with declining performance, particularly in science at 38.2%.

The most interesting finding is a district inversion: Westside Elementary School, from the weaker Macon County district, outperforms Westmoreland Elementary School, which sits in the much stronger Sumner County district. Chronic absenteeism tracks academic results closely, as the schools with the highest absenteeism show the most struggles. Westside Elementary School also proves that spending alone does not drive outcomes, achieving the best elementary results with the lowest per-student cost. Overall, Westside Elementary School and Westmoreland Middle School are strong choices, Westmoreland High School offers solid STEM and history programs but needs literacy support, and Westmoreland Elementary School warrants attention given its downward trend.
