Nashville Collegiate Prep

Summary:

Nashville Collegiate Prep is a public charter elementary school serving 430 students in grades K-6 in Nashville, Tennessee. The school is part of the Tennessee Public Charter School Commission district, which is ranked 123 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Nashville Collegiate Prep has a diverse student population, with a mix of White, African American, and Hispanic students, its academic performance is consistently lower than the district and state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rate in Mathematics for all grades was 19.6%, compared to 28.9% for the district and 39.7% for the state. The school also ranks in the bottom half of Tennessee elementary schools for most student groups, including Female Students, Male Students, White Students, and Low Socio-Economic Status Students. However, the school performs relatively better for African American Students and English Language Learner Students, ranking in the top half of the state.

When compared to nearby public schools, such as Granbery Elementary, which is located just 2.94 miles away, it becomes clear that Nashville Collegiate Prep is underperforming academically. Granbery Elementary has significantly higher proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science across all grade levels. The school's low academic performance may be influenced by factors such as the high percentage of students from disadvantaged backgrounds and the relatively high student-teacher ratio.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
