Sylvan Park Elementary vs Warner Elementary

Sylvan Park Elementary and Warner Elementary sit 5.1 miles apart in Nashville, Tennessee, but the distance between them on the state ranking table is far wider. Sylvan Park Elementary holds an overall rating of 9.7/10, placing it #3 of 1,785 schools in Tennessee. Warner Elementary earns an 8.7/10 and ranks #99 of the same 1,785 statewide schools — a 1.0-point overall gap that, in context, still puts Warner well inside the top 6% of all Tennessee elementary schools.

The most concrete difference between the two schools lives in their academic scores. Sylvan Park Elementary scores 9.8/10 in academics, a 3.5-point lead over Warner Elementary's 6.3/10 — a gap wide enough to reflect a meaningful difference in measured proficiency outcomes. Growth tells a sharply different story: Warner Elementary scores 9.9/10 in student growth, edging Sylvan Park Elementary's 9.8/10 by a tenth of a point. Both schools demonstrate that students are progressing at strong rates year over year, but Warner closes that academic gap at nearly the same pace Sylvan Park sustains it.

Demographically, the two schools are closely matched. Sylvan Park Elementary enrolls 439 students versus Warner Elementary's 390, and their student-teacher ratios are nearly identical — 14.6:1 at Sylvan Park Elementary and 14.4:1 at Warner Elementary. Parents looking for small-classroom feel will find comparable access to teacher attention at either campus. Neither school carries a significant structural advantage on this measure.

One concrete programmatic difference separates them at the entry point: Warner Elementary serves grades PK through 05, meaning families can enroll children in pre-kindergarten without changing schools. Sylvan Park Elementary begins at kindergarten, grades KG through 05, so pre-K families would need a separate placement before transitioning in. For families with a four-year-old, this is a logistical factor independent of ratings.
