Summary

Nashville Classical East is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Nashville, Tennessee. The school is located in the Davidson County school district, which is ranked 122 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Nashville Classical East consistently outperforms the Davidson County and Tennessee state averages in proficiency rates across all grade levels and subject areas, with particularly strong performance in 3rd and 4th grade. The school's White, Hispanic, and African American students, as well as its Special Education students, perform better than their peers in the district and state. However, the school's Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) students lag behind, ranking in the bottom half of Tennessee elementary schools in this category.

Compared to nearby schools, Nashville Classical East outperforms most, with the exception of Lockeland Elementary, a top-performing school in the state. Schools like KIPP Academy Nashville Elementary, Murrell at Glenn, and Tom Joy Elementary have significantly lower proficiency rates compared to Nashville Classical East. The school's high per-student spending and student-teacher ratio may contribute to its strong academic performance, though its fluctuating chronic absenteeism rates and the achievement gap for its Low SES students are areas that could be addressed.
