Summary

Rose Park Middle School is a grades 6–8 public middle school in Nashville, TN, serving 345 students within the Metro Nashville Public Schools district. The school sits at the 50th percentile statewide, ranking 299th out of 594 Tennessee middle schools — a solid mid-tier position, especially considering the district ranks in the bottom 11% of Tennessee districts. Rose Park outperforms its district on every core subject. In math, 34.1% of students are proficient versus 32.4% district-wide; in ELA, 35.3% versus 31.8% district-wide. Nearby high-flyers like Meigs Middle School and John Trotwood Moore Middle School score in the top 5 percent statewide, while several other neighborhood schools rank in the bottom 20th percentile — Rose Park sits squarely in between.

One of Rose Park's standout strengths is attendance. Its chronic absenteeism rate is 10.9%, well below the district's 23.3% and the state's 18.3%. Among nearby schools, only Head Middle School has a lower rate (5.3%), while several others exceed 28%. Rose Park also excels in advanced math: 81.5% of students taking Integrated Math I scored proficient, far above the state's 30.2%. The school is exceptionally effective for special education students, ranking in the 95th percentile statewide — a 5-star rating.

The school spends $18,515 per student — less than several lower-performing neighbors like John Early Middle School ($29,546) and Moses McKissack Middle School ($27,891) — while achieving notably better results. However, Rose Park has slipped recently: math proficiency fell from 41.3% (2023–2024) to 34.1%, and ELA from 45.6% to 35.3%. Eighth-grade ELA and science lag the state, and low-income students perform at the 41st percentile. Still, with strong attendance, a standout math program, and demonstrated success with special education students, Rose Park has a solid foundation to build on.
