Summary:
The 37221 zip code area in Davidson County, Tennessee is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school. While the standout performer is Harpeth Valley Elementary, which ranks in the top 15% of Tennessee elementary schools, the middle and high schools in the area struggle to meet state benchmarks.
Harpeth Valley Elementary boasts strong test scores, a 4-star rating, and relatively low chronic absenteeism. In contrast, James Lawson High School is ranked in the bottom 25% of Tennessee high schools, with test scores well below county and state averages, a high dropout rate, and chronic absenteeism on par with the other schools.

Further analysis would be needed to fully understand the drivers of these differences and identify opportunities for improvement across the Davidson County school district.
