Summary

KIPP Nashville Collegiate High School is a public charter high school in Nashville, TN, serving about 438 students in grades 9-12 under the larger Metro Nashville Public Schools district. It has established itself as a college-preparatory school with strong graduation and attendance outcomes.

The school's most striking numbers are its graduation rate (96.0% in 2024-2025) and its exceptional recovery in attendance, dropping chronic absenteeism from 34.6% to just 10.1% in a single year. This puts it ahead of many neighbors like East Nashville Magnet High School and Maplewood High School. In specific subjects, KIPP shines—Biology proficiency (62.9%) and English II (60.3%) are well above state and district averages. While math proficiency like Algebra I (24.0%) lags behind, the school's ability to keep students engaged and on track to graduate is far superior to nearby zoned schools like Pearl-Cohn High School and Stratford STEM Magnet School.

KIPP spends about $20,463 per student, a higher investment than most traditional district schools, which supports its intensive programming and strong results for students from low-income households and other traditionally underserved groups. This investment pays off in consistent high graduation rates, which rival even the elite magnet schools like Hume - Fogg High School and Martin Luther King Junior School in terms of keeping students enrolled and graduating, even if its test scores don't yet reach those selective magnets' levels. The positive trajectory in overall ranking, jumping from the 23rd percentile to peak in the 70s, shows a school that is consistently improving and effectively meeting the needs of its student body.
