West Cheatham Elementary School Home

We were honored to receive the following awards. 2026 Best Public Elementary School Finalist, Best Principal Finalist, and Best Daycare Finalist Thank you to all the voters!

We are proud to announce that WCES is one of the five schools in our district of our schools to be named a Reward School by the Tennessee Department of Education for the 2024-2025 academic year.
Reward School status is the top state distinction a school can earn in Tennessee. Reward Schools recognize top tier schools in a comprehensive measure that includes achievement scores, growth scores, chronic absenteeism, English Learner proficiency, graduation rates, and Ready Graduate preparation. Students in grades 3-11 are tested each year in core subject areas that include math, social studies, and English/Language Arts

📚🖍️EARLY ACCESS TO KINDERGARTEN📚🖍️
Children who are 5 years old by August 15, 2026, are eligible to enroll in kindergarten. However, children who turn 5 between August 16 and September 30, 2026, have an opportunity to be assessed to determine readiness for early access to kindergarten.
The intent of early access is to identify highly capable children who miss the regular August 15 cutoff for kindergarten entrance.
Early access to kindergarten is a whole-grade acceleration that is designed for the exceptional child who is academically, developmentally, and socially advanced as compared to others of his or her chronological age.
We are accepting early access to kindergarten applications for the 2026-2027 school year through May 1, 2026. Additional information can be found on the cheatham county school district website!
