Summary:

ZIP code 37217 in Nashville, Tennessee, is served by four elementary schools—Glenview Elementary School, Lakeview Elementary School, Rocketship United School, and Glengarry Elementary School—all part of Metro Nashville Public Schools, which together educate roughly 2,235 students in grades PK/K through 5, though the ZIP code contains no public middle or high schools.

Among these four schools, Glengarry Elementary School and Rocketship United School stand out as the highest performing. Glengarry posts the best English Language Arts proficiency in the ZIP code (26.9%) and ties for the best in math (29.5%), while also being the only school to improve in all three tested subjects year over year. Rocketship matches Glengarry in math and posts the strongest science score (24.5%), including a notable +6.7 point gain in science. By contrast, Glenview Elementary School is the most challenged, with the lowest proficiency rates in all three subjects—19.9% in math, 15.7% in ELA, and 16.1% in science—and the weakest state ranking (6th percentile). Lakeview Elementary School is also a concern: it had the ZIP code's best math score in 2024–25 but fell sharply by 10 points to 21.8% in 2025–26.

Overall, every school in 37217 falls below both the district and state averages in every subject, and all four rank in the bottom 15% of Tennessee elementary schools. The gap between the strongest and weakest is meaningful—Glengarry Elementary School and Rocketship United School outperform Glenview Elementary School by roughly 10 percentage points in math. Notably, Rocketship United School has the highest chronic absenteeism rate (31.1%) yet scores near the top, suggesting attendance alone does not explain outcomes. Spending differences are modest (about $1,000 per student), and Glengarry Elementary School's state ranking has fallen dramatically despite its relatively strong scores. Families in this ZIP code should know that while Glengarry and Rocketship are the stronger options, all four schools face significant academic challenges.
