The Department of Education says the grades are meant “to provide a snapshot of how each school performed during the previous academic year,” according to its school letter grades page. The grade combines four indicators, each scored from 1 to 5: student achievement, academic growth, growth of the highest-need students and, for high schools only, college and career readiness.

Sunset Middle earned an A for 2024-25, the latest grades published, with a perfect overall score of 5 in the state’s letter grade file.

Attendance zone and feeder schools

Check any address with the WCS zoned school finder (abbreviate the street type, leave the ZIP code blank) or on the district’s school zone maps. You must live in Williamson County to attend WCS. Out-of-zone requests open Feb. 4 and close April 15, and out-of-zone students do not get bus service.

The Sunset Elementary zone and nearly all of the Jordan Elementary zone feed Sunset Middle, according to the WCS zone maps, as drawn in the 2023 board-approved boundaries published in the City of Franklin’s planning GIS. Sunset Middle students go on to one of two high schools: the school says they “will eventually attend either Nolensville High School or Ravenwood High School.” In the zone maps, most of the Brentwood streets in the Sunset Middle zone, around Split Log Road and Jordan Elementary, are zoned for Ravenwood; the city’s eastern edge and the unincorporated area toward Nolensville are zoned for Nolensville High. Zones follow streets, not city limits, so confirm any address with the zoned school finder.
