Oakmont Elementary

Oakmont Elementary is a public school in Cottontown, Tennessee, serving 136 students in kindergarten through fifth grade. With a student-teacher ratio of 12.4:1, classes stay small, giving teachers consistent access to individual students throughout the school day. The school earns a composite score of 9.4 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — with a 9.8 in academics and a 9.6 in growth.

Those numbers translate directly into statewide standing: Oakmont ranks #1 among all 50 schools in Sumner County and #15 among 1,002 elementary schools across Tennessee. Put another way, it outperforms 99% of Tennessee public schools. For parents comparing options in the region, that gap in performance is significant.

Academic strength and measurable student growth together drive Oakmont's overall rating. The 9.6 growth score matters because it reflects how much students advance year over year — not just where they start. Ranking #16 out of 1,785 public schools statewide confirms that this level of performance holds up against schools of all grade configurations, not just elementary peers.

Families prioritizing both achievement and consistent academic progress will find Oakmont's data hard to match in the area.

With an enrollment of 136 students, Oakmont Elementary is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

Located in a rural area, Oakmont Elementary 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.
