Maplewood High

Summary:

Maplewood High is a public high school located in Nashville, Tennessee, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 691. The school is part of the Davidson County school district, which is ranked 122 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Maplewood High consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in Tennessee, with its student performance on state assessments significantly below the state and district averages across all subject areas and grade levels. The school's student population is predominantly African American (61.79%) and Hispanic (27.93%), with a relatively small percentage of White students (7.09%). Maplewood High likely serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, as evidenced by its low ranking among schools with students of low socioeconomic status. The school's performance is particularly concerning for its African American, Hispanic, and low-income student subgroups, which rank among the lowest in the state.

In contrast, nearby Martin Luther King Junior School consistently ranks among the top 5-7 high schools in Tennessee and significantly outperforms Maplewood High and the state/district averages on state assessments. This stark contrast in academic performance suggests that Maplewood High may be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and targeted interventions and support are needed to address the underlying issues and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all 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.
