Inglewood Elementary School

At a Glance

Welcome From the Principal

Thank you for visiting the website of Inglewood Elementary!  We have been a community school dedicated to partnering with our parents / guardians and neighbors to support our students since 1929. Our staff is committed to providing the best possible educational experience for your child by ensuring we address both academics and social emotional needs.

We encourage our families, prospective families, alumni, neighbors and  community partners to come and tour the school, attend school events, volunteer during school hours,  and to get to know our  students and staff.  We offer school tours daily, and while we encourage you to schedule your tour to ensure a member of the administration or coaching staff can lead you in your visit, we do not require it and will have a staff member available to provide drop in tours. 

At Inglewood Elementary we are an Environmental Sciences STEAM Magnet.  Inglewood Elementary was awarded a five year Magnet School Assistance Program grant starting in the 2017-18 school year

School Description

The mission of Inglewood Elementary School is to build a community of lifelong learners equipped with the skills and experiences to be successful in life.

We are dedicated to achieving the mission and vision of our school through high-quality academic instruction as well as social emotional support for all students. We are focused on increasing student engagement through STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) education. We are also dedicated to meeting every child’s social and emotional needs with group and individual counseling through our school, STARS and Centerstone counselors. Our full-time Advanced Academics Resource Teacher (AART) helps meet the unique needs of our gifted and talented students, providing students with a stronger advanced academic continuum throughout their education.

Inglewood Elementary engages students through critical thinking, collaboration, creativity and communication in a warm, demanding environment. The school’s unique approach to learning ensures every student experiences integrated instruction specializing in the Environmental Sciences. Quarterly STEAM Challenges provide students with the opportunity to design potential solutions to real world environmental issues through literacy, math, science and social studies. Solutions are developed utilizing the Engineering Design Process and abundant technology. The school partners with scientists from Vanderbilt University, the American Alliance for Innovative Systems, and various community experts to provide learning experiences in the classroom, in the STEAM Lab, and in the field. STEAM is further enhanced through enrichment opportunities including a musical band, art studio, onstage performances, creative after-school care, Maker Space and STEAM enrichment clubs.
