Summary:
Zip code 62263 has two schools serving prekindergarten through grade 12: Nashville Grade School (PK–8, 622 students) and Nashville Community High School (grades 9–12, 359 students), for 981 students combined. Their results are not a direct school-to-school ranking because the schools serve different grades. The clearest takeaway is that results vary sharply by grade, especially in elementary math: 5th-grade proficiency was 21 points below the state, while 7th-grade proficiency was 16 points above.
Nashville Community High School stands out in grade 9, where PreACT proficiency was above state rates in ELA (69% vs. 62%), math (49% vs. 42%) and science (54% vs. 47%). That strength does not extend across every grade: grade 10 math and science were below state rates, as were grade 11 ACT ELA and science. At Nashville Grade School, 5th-grade ELA was 60% compared with 55% statewide, while 3rd-grade ELA was 40% compared with 48%. The school’s all-grades rates were below the state in ELA (51% vs. 56%) and math (37% vs. 40%).
Trends are mixed, rather than uniformly improving or declining. From 2024–25 to 2025–26, Nashville Grade School’s all-grades ELA rate rose 8 points and its gap to the state narrowed by 5 points, while its math gap remained about 3 points below the state. At the high school, 11th-grade ACT ELA fell 16 points and science fell 20 points. SchoolDigger ranks the grade school at the 37th percentile and the high school at the 61st percentile in 2025–26; both percentiles have declined since 2023–24. In 2024–25, free/reduced lunch eligible students were 39% at the grade school and 33% at the high school, and student–teacher ratios were 14.8 and 11.7, respectively. Attendance was a positive indicator: chronic absenteeism was 7% and 14%, compared with 24% statewide, and the high school’s graduation rate was 96% versus 90% statewide.
