Stratford STEM Magnet School

Summary:

Stratford STEM Magnet School is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in Nashville, Tennessee, with a diverse student population of 787 students. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it consistently ranks among the lower-performing high schools in Tennessee, with significantly lower test scores compared to state and county averages.

Stratford STEM Magnet School's academic performance is a significant concern, with the school receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking in the bottom 25% of Tennessee high schools for African American, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (12.6%) and English Language Arts (11.4%) for all grades are less than half the state averages (39.7% and 37.6%, respectively). In comparison, nearby schools like Hume-Fogg High School, ranked as the top high school in Tennessee, significantly outperform Stratford STEM Magnet School on state assessments.

The school has also experienced a slight decline in enrollment over the past few years, with a shift in its racial composition, including a decrease in the percentage of White students and an increase in the percentage of Hispanic students. While the school's spending per student is higher than the state average, it is lower than some of the nearby high-performing schools in the Davidson County district. Addressing the academic challenges and supporting the diverse student population will be crucial for Stratford STEM Magnet School to better serve its community.

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.
