DuPont Elementary School is a public school in the Metro Nashville Public Schools system located in the historic village of Old Hickory. Serving students from pre-kindergarten through fourth grade, DuPont Elementary is truly a neighborhood school that maintains a strong connection to the community.
DuPont Elementary has a dedicated staff that encourages young children with programs to help them lay a firm foundation for educational excellence, with character education taught throughout the curriculum. They participate in the district-wide Encore program for gifted and talented students and offer extra help to those who need it in their after-school tutoring program.
DuPont offers book clubs to inspire students to become lifelong readers, an honor choir for those who like to sing as well as Spirit Nights to build a sense of pride and community. School spirit gets a definite boost with a little help from DuPont the Dog, the school mascot and lead Bulldog that reminds kids “Paws-itive attitude, Paws-itive results”.
That sentiment fits in well with DuPont Elementary School’s vision: Learning Today, Leading Tomorrow.

When we enrolled our son for Kindergarten we lived close by. Shortly after we moved right outside downtown Nashville.

I would give this school negative stars if I could. My daughters were physically assaulted by a much bigger boy, and the principle, Ms Hoskins has done nothing besides suspend him from the bus for a week.
