Best Public Schools in Zip Code 37189


Summary:

The 37189 zip code area in Davidson County, Tennessee is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the overall Davidson County school district is ranked 122 out of 139 districts in the state, the standout schools in this area appear to be the KIPP Nashville College Prep Elementary and KIPP Nashville College Prep middle school campuses, which consistently outperform the district and state averages on standardized tests.

In contrast, Whites Creek High School and Alex Green Elementary have very low proficiency rates, scoring well below the district and state averages in core subjects like English, Math, and Science. This suggests these traditional public schools are struggling to adequately prepare students, despite relatively high per-student spending levels. The stark performance gap between the KIPP schools and the other schools in the area indicates the KIPP model may be more effective at driving student achievement in this community.

Across all the schools, the student populations are predominantly minority, with over 75% African American students. The KIPP schools serve an even higher percentage of minority students, at over 95% non-white. This highlights the need to ensure equitable educational opportunities for underrepresented groups in this community. Further analysis would be needed to understand the underlying factors contributing to the disparities in academic performance observed in this zip code area.
