Summary

Maplewood High is a public high school in Nashville, Tennessee, serving 686 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Davidson County school district, which is ranked 122 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Maplewood High has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Tennessee high schools over the past decade.

Maplewood High significantly underperforms the state and county averages on standardized tests across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 5.7% of 10th graders were proficient or better in Biology I, compared to 16.3% in the county and 36.3% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low in mathematics, with only 5.9% of students proficient or better in Integrated Math II, compared to 26.1% in the county and 29.2% statewide. Maplewood High also has a lower four-year graduation rate, ranging from 71.9% to 89.2%, and a higher dropout rate, as high as 25.6% in recent years, compared to state and county averages.

The data reveals a stark contrast between Maplewood High and the nearby Martin Luther King Jr. School and Hume-Fogg High School, which are high-performing magnet schools that consistently rank among the top high schools in Tennessee. However, Maplewood High's English Language Learner (ELL) students perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 5 out of 50 Tennessee high schools in this category, suggesting the school may have effective strategies in place to support this student population.
