CASTLE HEIGHTS ELEMENTARY

What CASTLE HEIGHTS ELEMENTARY does

Castle Heights Elementary School is a public elementary school serving approximately 400-500 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade at a single campus at 1007 N. Castle Heights Ave., Lebanon, Tennessee. The school operates within the Lebanon Special School District (LSSD), a government entity established in 1901 by a special act of the Tennessee General Assembly, and is led by Principal Julie L. Benson and Assistant Principal Marcie Polk. Instruction follows Tennessee state standards and is delivered through a STREAM (Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) framework, with supplemental Title I academic intervention services, Special Education (including CDC programs), English Language Learner support, and the daily Move This World social-emotional learning curriculum. Enrichment offerings include the Accelerated Reader library program, Knights Basketball, Running Club, the School Age Child Care (SACC) before/after program, and the H² Heights Helpers structured volunteer initiative. The school has been recognized as a 2022-23 Tennessee Reward School and operates within LSSD, which was named an Exemplary District by TDOE for 2023-24 and recognized as a Heart Safe School by Vanderbilt.

The underlying technology stack is standard K-12 ed-tech infrastructure rather than proprietary: Skyward for student information and family access, Clever for student single sign-on, Edlio for the public website (chue.net) and parent communications, Google Sign-In for administrative authentication, Canva for yearbook design, My Ride K-12 for bus notifications, and AR Bookfinder for reading-level assessment. Marketing and family engagement run through a multi-channel mix — Edlio website, Twitter (@CastleHeights2), district mobile app, recurring CH Parent Newsletter (Editions #1-36+), Skyward Family Access, and school events (Fun Run, Knight's Festival, Fall Festival, STREAM Celebration). No API, SDK, or AI/ML capabilities are evidenced in the data.

Because the institution is a public school, there is no commercial revenue model. Funding flows from state and federal education allocations, local property taxes, and Title I, with no tuition charged. Marginal ancillary revenue is generated through fundraising: an annual Fun Run, a Tennessee Titans ticket partnership ($10 per ticket routed to the SWPB program), yearbook sales ($30 hardback/color), spirit wear ($10-$15 per item), and a commission from Sprout School Supplies prepackaged kits (school code CHES802). Customer segments are non-commercial: enrolled elementary students (ages 4-11) as primary, families and parents as co-primary, and Lebanon/Wilson County community members as secondary.

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• Wilson County Schools: The larger county-wide district operating parallel to LSSD within the same county. Serves as a broader incumbent competitor for residential enrollment and competes for the same per-pupil state funding pool.

Direct peers

• Byars Dowdy Elementary School: Sibling elementary school within the Lebanon Special School District serving the same Wilson County catchment. Operates under identical district governance, funding streams, and curriculum frameworks, making it the closest direct peer for benchmarking academic outcomes and program offerings.
• Sam Houston Elementary School: Another LSSD elementary campus with the same district structure, Title I framework, and community demographics. Directly comparable on STREAM/SEL adoption, family engagement maturity, and Tennessee accountability outcomes.
• Carroll-Oakland Elementary School: LSSD elementary peer offering the same Pre-K through 5th grade structure under shared district leadership. Most relevant for student-flow and intra-district enrollment comparisons.
• Lebanon Middle School: Downstream feeder within LSSD that receives Castle Heights graduates. Useful for tracking longitudinal academic outcomes and curriculum continuity through the K-8 pipeline.

Emerging players

• Liberty Collegiate Academy: Tennessee public charter school offering an alternative K-12 model that competes for a subset of Lebanon-area families seeking non-traditional public school options.

Regional players

• West Elementary School: Wilson County Schools elementary operating in the same regional market. Comparable on grade band, state standards, and accountability framework, but funded and governed independently of LSSD.
• Mt. Juliet Elementary School: Adjacent Wilson County Schools elementary serving the same Lebanon/Wilson County market but under a separate county district. Comparable on student demographics and Tennessee standards, but with different funding and governance.
