East Nashville Middle

Summary:

East Nashville Middle is a public middle school serving 261 students in grades 5-8 in a predominantly African American and Hispanic neighborhood in Nashville, Tennessee. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Tennessee middle schools over the past several years, with a 0 or 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

East Nashville Middle faces significant academic challenges, with only 13.4% of students proficient or better in Math and 9.2% proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 39.7% and 37.6% statewide, respectively. The school's student population is 88.12% African American, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools and the Davidson County and state averages. East Nashville Middle ranks in the bottom 50% of Tennessee middle schools for all student subgroups, indicating widespread academic struggles across the student population.

The poor performance of East Nashville Middle is not unique, as the nearby schools such as Jere Baxter Middle, Haynes Middle, and Margaret Allen Middle also struggle academically and rank in the bottom 10-20% of Tennessee middle schools. This suggests a broader systemic issue within the Davidson County school district that requires comprehensive and targeted solutions to improve educational outcomes for students in this area.

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.
