Summary:
Zip code 37205 is home to just one elementary school, Westmeade Elementary School, a K–5 school with 429 students in Metro Nashville Public Schools. Westmeade serves as the only option in this area, and its performance tells a mixed story: it stands out within a district that ranks in the 11th percentile statewide, but it still trails Tennessee's state averages in most subjects. In the 2025–2026 school year, Westmeade posted 34.6% proficiency in math, 39.0% in English language arts, and 35.3% in science, compared to state averages of 43.0%, 40.6%, and 46.9%, respectively.
Parents comparing Westmeade to its district will find reasons for optimism. The school beats Metro Nashville Public Schools by 2.2 points in math and 7.2 points in English language arts, and it nearly matches the district in science. English language arts is its clear strength, sitting just 1.6 points below the state average. Fourth grade stands out as the strongest year, particularly in ELA at 47.0%, well above the district's 37.4%. However, 5th grade is a significant concern, with math proficiency at just 27.1%—20.3 points below the state—and the school falling behind both district and state in every subject at that grade level. Westmeade's state percentile has also slipped from 50th in 2023–2024 to 32nd in 2025–2026, despite maintaining a 2-star rating.
Chronic absenteeism at Westmeade Elementary School is 19.4%, better than the district's 23.3% but slightly above the state's 18.3%. The school spends a substantial $17,892 per student, yet that investment has not translated into above-state performance in math or science. Missing data on free/reduced lunch eligibility and student-teacher ratios limits a fuller evaluation. Overall, Westmeade is a solid choice within its district, with particular strengths in ELA and 4th grade, but families should be aware of the notable 5th-grade struggles and the school's declining statewide rank.
