of 1,009 Tennessee Elementary Schools

Better than 22% of Tennessee elementary schools

Summary

Nashville Collegiate Prep is a public charter elementary school serving 613 students in grades K-7. It is part of the Tennessee Public Charter School Commission district, which is ranked 117 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Tennessee elementary schools over the past 3 years.

Nashville Collegiate Prep faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school significantly underperforms the state and its district on standardized test scores across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 24.3% of students were proficient or better in math compared to 42.2% statewide, and only 27.5% were proficient in ELA compared to 38.9% statewide. The school's performance is especially low in 7th and 8th grade math and ELA. Additionally, the school has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.9% to 27.7% over the past 3 years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Nashville Collegiate Prep to nearby Davidson County district elementary schools, it significantly underperforms on test scores, ranking in the bottom quarter of Tennessee schools. In contrast, some nearby schools like Granbery Elementary and May Werthan Shayne Elementary perform much better, ranking in the top half of the state. The school's lower per-student spending and higher student-teacher ratios compared to nearby district schools may also contribute to its academic challenges.
