Wilson County Schools is a K–12 school district in Wilson County, Tennessee, United States. The district enrolls nearly 20,000 students[1] and over 1,100 teachers[2] at ten elementary schools, three K-8 schools, four middle schools, and five high schools.

Students who live within the K–8 Lebanon Special School District (LSSD) automatically transition to Lebanon High School in Wilson County Schools after completing their eighth grade year. Wilson County Schools is the ninth largest school district in the state.[3]

The district serves most of Wilson County for all grades. A portion of the county, including most of Lebanon, is zoned to LSSD for grades K–8, while grades 9–12 are zoned to Wilson County Schools, specifically Lebanon High School.[4]

History[]

Previously county high schools used four by four block scheduling. Due to budget cuts in 2020 this was ended, but there were those in the school community who wished to resume block scheduling.[5] During the 2020 Nashville tornado, which struck Mt. Juliet, West Wilson Middle and Stoner Creek Elementary sustained catastrophic damage and were closed for the next two school years. Both schools had to be rebuilt, with demolition and construction starting in 2021.[6]
