Summary:

Seven elementary schools in Nashville's 37211 zip code serve 4,450 students in grades PK-5 (except Aventura Community School, which serves K-8), all part of Metro Nashville Public Schools. These schools perform below both district and state averages in most subjects, trailing the state by 13-20 percentage points. The largest gap is in science, where the zip-code average of 26.6% proficient sits 20.3 points below the state average of 46.9%. Chronic absenteeism averages 16.5%, below the district average of 23.3%.

Norman Binkley Elementary School is the strongest traditional school, with the highest math (42.3%) and ELA (38.6%) proficiency in the zip code and the best state rank at 668th of 1,019. May Werthan Shayne Elementary School ranks second in math (39.5%) and leads traditional schools in science (34.8%) while spending the least per student at $16,586. Paragon Mills Elementary School is the lowest-performing across all subjects — math 19.0%, ELA 15.4%, science 15.0% — though it posted meaningful gains. Aventura Community School showed the largest improvement, jumping from the 7th to the 27th percentile and reaching the highest science proficiency (41.1%) in the zip code, but it also has the highest chronic absenteeism (29.6%) and spending ($23,614 per student).

Performance gaps within this single zip code are wide: math proficiency ranges from 42.3% at Norman Binkley Elementary School to 19.0% at Paragon Mills Elementary School. High spending does not guarantee high performance — Aventura Community School spends about $5,000 more per student than any other school yet has one of the lowest math rates, while May Werthan Shayne Elementary School spends the least and outperforms most peers. Chronic absenteeism does not predict scores neatly; Tusculum Elementary School has the lowest absenteeism (11.2%) but very low ELA and science. Consistently, 4th-grade proficiency exceeds 5th-grade across several schools — Haywood Elementary School's 4th-grade math is 31.8% but drops to 16.1% in 5th grade, and Glencliff Elementary School falls from 29.9% to 12.3%. Several schools, including Aventura Community School, Paragon Mills Elementary School, and Glencliff Elementary School, are improving despite low absolute scores, offering a mixed but hopeful picture.
