McGavock Elementary School (commonly McGavock Elementary, Little Mac) is a public school in Nashville, Tennessee, part of Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools.

Overview

The school is named after the McGavock family, who were important in the early development of the city and who built the nearby Two Rivers Mansion.[1] The school opened in fall 1956 and currently serves kindergarten through the fourth grade.[2]

The school is currently zoned to the McGavock Cluster, generally sending children who have completed the fourth grade to Two Rivers Middle School and eventually McGavock Comprehensive High School.

Major Expansions

The school saw significant expansions in 1963, when a wing was added, and in 2008, when an indoor physical education facility was added.
