Original Research by School Decision on Jordan Elementary School
Jordan Elementary School serves students from prekindergarten through fifth grade in Brentwood, a suburban city southwest of Nashville that has grown considerably since the interstate made the commute easier. The school sits within Williamson County Schools, a district that draws families to the area for its overall reputation. Brentwood itself is primarily residential but also houses major corporate headquarters and healthcare employers, giving it a dual character as a comfortable suburb and a regional employment hub.
The student body is large for an elementary school, with roughly six hundred students across the grades. The composition is predominantly white, with an Asian enrollment that is sizable and Black, Hispanic, and multiracial groups each making up a smaller share. The school has a small number of Native American students. Data on students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, as well as counts for students on individualized education plans and English learners, were not available in the profile. A parent may want to ask the school directly about the level of economic diversity and the supports in place for special populations.
Academically, Jordan Elementary posts strong results on Tennessee’s state assessments. In math, a large majority of students scored at the proficient or above level. In English language arts, the share was somewhat lower but still solid. In science, about three out of four test takers reached the proficiency bar. Every tested student participated, with full participation reported. When placed against other districts in Williamson County, the school’s overall proficiency across subjects sits in the top quartile relative to the county’s districts, a grouping that includes only two districts total. Because the school only goes through fifth grade, there is no graduation rate to report, and data on chronic absenteeism was not present.
The school building and grounds are located on Split Log Road in a part of Brentwood that is largely residential, set among rolling hills and wooded areas. Daily life in Brentwood revolves around its park system and library rather than a traditional downtown. The city offers extensive paved trails for walking and biking, connecting neighborhoods to green spaces. Crockett Park, the Brentwood Library, and historic sites like Primm Park are civic anchors. Families moving to the area should expect a car-dependent environment with little urban street life but plentiful outdoor recreation.
Housing in the zip code is expensive, with typical home values well above the state and national benchmarks. Rents follow a similar pattern. This reflects Brentwood’s desirability and its growth as a corporate hub, but it also means that living close to the school requires a substantial income. The broader district did not have any recent parent-relevant changes surfaced from public research, so no major shifts in boundaries, funding, or curriculum were identified.
This is a high-performing elementary school in an affluent, fast-growing suburb where academic proficiency is strong across tested subjects. It fits a family that can afford the housing market and values a large school with consistent test results and full participation. The absence of data on economic diversity and special education enrollment means a parent should verify what supports exist for their child’s specific needs. The school offers no program-level details in the data reviewed, so enrichment offerings, before- and after-care, and specialty classes are not described here.
