Original Research by School Decision on Pearre Creek Elementary School
Pearre Creek Elementary School sits in Franklin, Tennessee, within the Williamson County Schools district. It serves prekindergarten through fifth grade as a regular public school, not a charter or magnet. The school draws from its surrounding Franklin neighborhood, a fast-growing area that has transformed from an agricultural county seat into a Nashville suburb with a strong corporate and commercial base. The historic downtown square remains the civic center, but Cool Springs functions as a major retail and office hub, and the city has seen sustained population growth that has pushed residential development in all directions from the core.
The student body is predominantly white, with a modest share of Hispanic students and smaller numbers of Asian, Black, and multiracial students. Enrollment numbers for students with disabilities and English learners were not available in the data reviewed. The school does not appear to have Title I status, which typically indicates that the share of students from low-income households is below the threshold for federal supplemental funding. Free and reduced-price lunch counts were also missing from the data, so a fuller picture of economic diversity at the school is not directly available from the source material.
The housing market in the area is expensive. Home values and rents in the school’s ZIP code sit well above state and national benchmarks, and the typical mortgage payment significantly exceeds the typical rent, reflecting a high cost of entry for buyers. The median household income nationally is modest relative to these housing costs, and families considering Pearre Creek should expect a substantial financial commitment to live in the attendance zone.
Academically, Pearre Creek performed at a strong level on Tennessee’s state assessments in the most recent testing year. The school recorded proficiency rates that placed it above the district average in Williamson County, a county where the district comparison set includes only two districts, so the comparison is narrow. In English language arts, math, and science, the share of students scoring at the proficient or advanced level was well above what the county’s other district reported. The social studies assessment data is from an earlier testing year with different test and cut-score standards, so it is not directly comparable to current results. The school’s test participation rate was full, which supports the reliability of these results.
Because Pearre Creek is an elementary school, there is no graduation rate to report. That metric simply does not apply to a school serving pre-K through fifth grade. Similarly, the data did not include chronic absenteeism figures, so attendance patterns are not part of this account.
The school’s program offerings were not described in the data provided, so this narrative cannot speak to what enrichment, arts, or specialized instruction is available beyond the core academic program. The district brief turned up no recent parent-relevant changes such as boundary adjustments, bond proposals, or curriculum shifts; none were found in publicly available sources.
Pearre Creek Elementary is a neighborhood school in an affluent, rapidly growing suburb with strong state test results that place it favorably within a small county district comparison. Families relocating to Franklin should weigh the high cost of housing and the limited data on student support populations when considering this school. A parent who wants a clearer picture of the school’s approach to special education or English language services may want to contact the school directly, as those figures were not available in the reviewed data.
