Welcome to Cockrill Elementary School!

Nestled in the heart of The Nations, Nashville, Cockrill Elementary School is more than just a school; it’s a vibrant community where children thrive! We pride ourselves on being an enhanced option school that offers a unique learning environment for our diverse group of students.

What Makes Us Special?

• Caring Atmosphere: Our school is all about putting children first. We create a warm and welcoming space where every child feels valued and loved.
• Breakfast in the Classroom: We believe that a good day starts with a good breakfast! That’s why we serve breakfast right in the classroom, ensuring our students are fueled and ready to learn.

• Engaging Learning: Our approach to education includes project-based learning and blended learning opportunities. This means students get to explore, create, and learn in ways that excite them!
• State-of-the-Art Technology: We equip our classrooms with the latest technology, giving students the tools they need to succeed in today’s world.

Support for Families

At Cockrill Elementary, we understand that education is a partnership. That’s why we have a Family Resource Center and collaborate with the PENCIL Foundation to provide additional support services for our families.
