This school is a hidden gem in East Nashville. Over the past few years, with a new principle, a major renovation, and a STEAM Magnet grant, this school is certainly on the rise. My son is in Kindergarten and adores STEAM lab, music instruction, art and music class, and his classroom teacher. They work with a Vanderbilt engineer twice a month and he is excelling in every way. Test scores are, unfortunately, outdated at this point and not accurately reflecting what's happening in this school. This is the hidden gem of East Nashville. We love Rosebank! Close Quote
