Are Williamson County Schools STILL the Best in Tennessee?

February 12, 2014 by claytate 1 Comment

2019 TCAP and ACT Results Once Again Pummel State Averages

Williamson County Schools have a sparkling reputation for being some of the best public schools in the state of Tennessee.  And for good reason.  The ACT standardized test results from the Tennessee Department of Education (TDOE) are based on the highest composite score for each student earning a regular diploma. The WCS Class of 2019 posted an ACT composite of 25.3. The state average is a composite of 20.0.

Fifty-three percent of the WCS Class of 2019 scored at or above all four college readiness benchmarks set by the ACT. By comparison, 20 percent of students in Tennessee achieved that feat.

Students who earn at least a 21 composite on the ACT are eligible for the Tennessee HOPE Scholarship. Eighty percent of the WCS Class of 2019 met that criteria. The state average is 42 percent.

What about the Franklin Special School District?

williamson county schools williamson county homes for sale homes zoned for willimaons county schools scales elementary brentwood franklin special school district fssd clay tate real estate

I’m glad you asked.  The Franklin Special School District (FSSD) gets its name from a Special Act of the state legislature that provides the Board of Education its own taxing authority.  If you live inside the FSSD boundaries there are additional tax dollars collected that go directly to the seven schools in the FSSD.  The idea is for this district to have funds to make sure the learning experience is “excellent for all”.

The FSSD is located in Franklin and is therefore surrounded by the Williamson County School district and the TCAP results are enough to give them the third highest ranking in the state of Tennessee (Williamson County is #1).

Still confused as to why there is a Franklin Special School District?  You aren’t the only one.  Some people think that Williamson County Schools should absorb the seven schools of the FSSD citing Williamson County’s higher TCAP scores.  However, there are strong advocates for the FSSD claiming that the benefits of autonomy give the district flexibility.  Regardless here are the TCAP scores for 2013:

2013 FSSD – Elementary Schools TCAP Results Ranked from Best to Worst

According to the scores below – 1 of 5 elementary schools (20%) in the FSSD are above the FSSD and Williamson County TCAP averages and all 5 (100%) are above the Tennessee state average.  (Sum Total of Math, Reading/Language Arts, Social Studies, Science)

Moore Elementary – 355.3
Williamson County Elementary Schools Avg. – 334.2
FSSD Elementary Avg. – 328.84
Johnson Elementary – 326.4
Franklin Elementary – 324.8
Liberty Elementary – 321.2
Poplar Grove K-5 – 316.5
Tennessee State Avg. – 253.7

2013 FSSD – Intermediate & Middle Schools TCAP Results Ranked from Best to Worst

According to the scores above 0 of 3 middle schools (0%) in the FSSD are above the Williamson County TCAP averages, 2 of 3 (66.7%) are above the FSSD average and all 3 (100%) are above the Tennessee state average.  (Sum Total of Math, Reading/Language Arts, Social Studies, Science)

Williamson County Avg. – 346
Poplar Grove 5-8 – 338.7
Freedom Intermediate 5/6 – 338.2
FSSD Intermediate & Middles Schools Avg. – 322.53
Freedom Middle – 290.7
Tennessee State Average – 253.7

Pretty convincing, huh?  Let me know if you are planning a move to the Williamson County area and I’ll help you navigate the school options.  For more information and TCAP scores for Williamson County Schools and the Franklin Special School District by subject please refer to the Tennessee Department of Education 2013 report card.
