Original Research by School Decision on Lipscomb Elementary
Lipscomb Elementary serves prekindergarten through fifth grade in Brentwood, Tennessee, as a regular public school within Williamson County Schools. Brentwood is a primarily residential community that also hosts major corporate headquarters, blending suburban living with a strong employment base. The city lacks a traditional downtown core; civic and commercial life is spread across suburban campuses and corridors. Extensive parks and a public library anchor everyday life. The built environment is car-dependent, with rolling hills and wooded lots, though paved walking and biking trails connect neighborhoods to green spaces. Housing values are very high, and rents are correspondingly elevated, placing the area among the most expensive in the region.
Academically, Lipscomb Elementary posts strong results on Tennessee’s state assessments. In math, proficiency is well above the midpoint of what is typical across Williamson County schools. English language arts proficiency is also high, and science results are similarly strong. Social studies data is from an older administration and is not directly comparable to current tests, so a parent may want to ask the school about more recent social studies outcomes. The school’s overall proficiency across tested subjects places it in the top quarter of districts in Williamson County—a comparison that reflects the district’s generally high-performing reputation. Because Lipscomb serves only elementary grades, there is no graduation rate or high school metrics to report. Chronic absenteeism data was not available.
The student body is about five hundred seventy children, with the largest single grade being fifth. The demographic composition is predominantly white, with smaller shares of Asian, Hispanic, Black, and multiracial students. No data on free or reduced-price meal eligibility was present in the available records, nor were counts for students with disabilities or English learners. That means a family looking for information on economic diversity or language support programs will need to inquire directly with the school. The school is not a charter or magnet, and no Title I status was reported, which in an affluent community like this may mean the school does not receive federal Title I funds.
Brentwood has seen substantial population growth over the decades, driven largely by Interstate 65 commuting access to Nashville, and continues to attract families and corporate headquarters. The school itself sits near the Brentwood Library and is located on Concord Road in a residential zone. Major employers in the area include United Healthcare, Tractor Supply Company, Comdata, DaVita, and GEODIS, shaping a local economy that draws professional families.
No recent district-level changes—such as bond measures, property tax shifts, or curriculum updates—were found in the public record. Williamson County Schools as a whole did not have readily available strategic priorities or notable developments surfaced in the research, so that context is absent rather than filled in.
Lipscomb Elementary fits a family seeking a high-performing elementary school in an affluent, suburban community with strong academic results. The student population is not economically diverse by the measures typically reported, and the housing market is expensive. The lack of data on special populations means a parent with a child who has an Individualized Education Program or is learning English should verify available support directly with the school. For families already living in Brentwood or moving into the area for corporate employment, this school offers a clearly strong academic foundation in a well-resourced district.
