RePublic High School

Summary:

RePublic High School is a public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in Nashville, Tennessee, with a diverse student population that is predominantly African American and Hispanic.

Despite its diverse student body, RePublic High School consistently underperforms academically compared to the Davidson County and Tennessee averages. The school ranks in the bottom quartile of Tennessee high schools, with low proficiency rates on standardized tests across subjects like English, history, and biology. This academic underperformance extends to specific student groups, with the school ranking in the bottom half of high schools for African American and Hispanic students.

When compared to nearby schools in the Davidson County district, such as Martin Luther King Junior School and Hume-Fogg High, which consistently rank among the top high schools in the state, RePublic High School's academic performance is significantly lower. Additionally, the school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student compared to some nearby schools, raising questions about the effective allocation of resources to support student learning.

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.
