Creekside Elementary School

Creekside Elementary School serves 792 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Franklin, Tennessee. It earns a composite score of 9.3 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — with near-perfect marks of 9.9 in both Academic Achievement and Growth. That dual-peak result is uncommon: it means the school delivers strong outcomes today and accelerates student progress year over year.

Creekside ranks #1 among all 25 public schools in Franklin and #31 out of 1,785 Tennessee public schools statewide, outperforming 98% of all schools in the state. Among elementary schools alone, it places #27 of 1,002 — a ranking that reflects sustained, school-wide performance rather than a single outlier cohort. The student-teacher ratio sits at 16.2 to 1 across an enrollment of 792 — typical for a public school of this size.

What is not typical: achieving Exceptional scores in both academic performance and student growth within a standard public school structure, without selective admissions. Families evaluating Franklin elementary options will find very few benchmarks above Creekside anywhere in the state.

Located in a rural area, Creekside Elementary School may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
