East Nashville Magnet High School

Summary:

East Nashville Magnet High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 612, located in Nashville, Tennessee, which is part of the Davidson County school district.

While nearby schools like Martin Luther King Jr. School and Hume-Fogg High School rank among the top 1-5% of Tennessee high schools, East Nashville Magnet High School consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15%, with significantly lower proficiency rates on state exams across all subjects and grade levels compared to the district and state averages. The school has a student population that is over 90% African American, in contrast to the more diverse racial compositions of surrounding schools, raising concerns about school segregation and equity in educational opportunities.

East Nashville Magnet High School's low performance is particularly pronounced for its female, male, and low socioeconomic status student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Tennessee high schools for these groups. Despite spending around $12,500 per student, which is higher than the state average, the school's academic outcomes suggest challenges in effectively supporting and meeting the needs of its most disadvantaged students.

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.

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.
