About Schools in Antioch, Tennessee

Antioch, Tennessee puts 21 ranked public schools in front of parents, spanning elementary through high school with an average score of 5.4 out of 10. That average sits in the mid-range, and the distribution tells the real story: only one school — 5% of the total — clears the 7-out-of-10 mark. Parents researching this area should expect a wide spread between top and bottom performers rather than a consistently strong field.

Mt. View Elementary leads the pack with a 7.4, the single standout in a landscape where most schools cluster closer to the mean. Thomas A. Edison Elementary (6.5) and Antioch High School (6.4) form the next tier, offering solid options at the elementary and secondary level respectively. Smith Springs Elementary (6.2) and KIPP Antioch College Prep Elementary (6.0) round out the top five, with KIPP representing the charter school option for families who want an alternative to the traditional district path. Below that top group, the remaining 16 schools average meaningfully lower — the 5.4 citywide mean reflects that gap.

The district serving most of Antioch falls under Metro Nashville Public Schools, one of Tennessee's largest urban systems. Size brings resources and program variety, but it also means school-to-school quality varies considerably within the same zip codes. Families in Antioch should treat school assignment boundaries as a primary variable when choosing where to live, not an afterthought — a few miles of distance can separate a 7.4-rated school from one well below average.

Practically, parents prioritizing elementary performance have the strongest options here: three of the top five schools are elementary, and Mt. View Elementary's lead over the field is substantial. For middle and high school, the picture narrows — Antioch High at 6.4 is the top-rated secondary option in the ranked set. Families with older children or a long planning horizon should factor in whether they intend to stay through graduation or weigh additional options outside the immediate area. Running school addresses through MySchoolScout's boundary tool will show exactly which school serves any specific address before signing a lease or closing on a home.
