Original Research by School Decision on Kenrose Elementary
Kenrose Elementary serves students from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in Brentwood, a suburban city in Williamson County. The school is a regular public school, not a charter or magnet, and it sits within the Williamson County district. The student body is large for an elementary school, and the grade-level enrollments are fairly balanced across kindergarten through fifth grade, with a slightly larger cohort in fourth grade.
The student population is notably diverse in its racial and ethnic composition. A little under half of the students are white, and a substantial share, well over a third, are Asian. Smaller groups of students are Hispanic, two or more races, Black, and American Indian or Alaska Native. Data on the share of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, receive special education services, or are English learners was not available in the source data, so a parent may want to ask the school directly about these support programs.
Kenrose Elementary serves pre-kindergarten through fifth grade, so there is no graduation rate to report. The school does not serve high school grades.
On state assessments, Kenrose Elementary posted strong results. In math, a large majority of students scored at the proficient level or above. In English language arts, the share of students reaching proficiency was also high, though slightly lower than in math. Science results were similarly strong, with a large majority of students meeting the proficiency benchmark. Social studies data was available only from an earlier year and under a different assessment, so it is not directly comparable to the current results. The school’s overall proficiency across tested subjects and grades placed it in the top quartile relative to other districts in Williamson County, a comparison that includes only a small number of districts.
The school is located in Brentwood, a suburban city that is primarily residential but also hosts a significant corporate and office presence. Major employers include United Healthcare, Tractor Supply Company, and several other large firms. The city has a car-dependent layout with no traditional downtown core; civic and commercial life is spread across suburban campuses and corridors. Brentwood offers an extensive park system with paved walking and biking trails, and the Brentwood Library serves as a community hub. The city has grown substantially since its incorporation, driven by interstate access to Nashville, and it continues to attract families and corporate headquarters.
Housing in the area is expensive. Home values are well above the national median, and rents are also high. The estimated monthly mortgage payment on a typical home is substantial, and rent is a significant share of the typical household income. This is a high-cost market, and families moving into the area should expect a significant housing expense.
The Williamson County district did not have any recent parent-relevant changes surfaced in the search, such as referendums, bond measures, or curriculum shifts. The search returned general community information but no specific lasting changes within the recent span.
For a family considering Kenrose Elementary, the picture is one of a high-performing school in an affluent, growing suburban community. The academic results are strong across the board, and the school’s performance relative to other districts in the county is at the top. The student body is racially and economically diverse in its composition, though the lack of data on free or reduced-price lunch and special education means a family should follow up directly to understand the full range of student support services. The housing market is expensive, and the area is car-dependent, with amenities spread out rather than concentrated in a walkable center. This is a school that fits a family looking for a high-achieving elementary school in a prosperous, corporate-anchored suburb with good parks and a strong sense of community investment.
