Summary

KIPP Kirkpatrick Elementary School is a public charter school in Nashville, TN, serving 376 students in grades K–4 within Metro Nashville Public Schools, a district currently ranked in the bottom 11th percentile of Tennessee districts. The school itself has been on a clear upward trajectory, moving from the 5th percentile statewide in 2021–2022 to the 19th percentile in 2025–2026 and earning a 1-star rating. While still below state averages, the trend is consistently positive across multiple measures.

Academically, KIPP Kirkpatrick has shown steady improvement in every subject. Math proficiency rose from 16.9% in 2022–2023 to 28.9% in 2025–2026, and science proficiency climbed from 23.6% to 32.2% over the same period. A distinctive pattern emerges by grade level: 4th graders in 2025–2026 essentially matched the district in math (40.8% vs. 41.1%) and outperformed the district in science (42.1% vs. 37.3%). The school is also making meaningful progress for its highest-need students, with African American, low-income, and special education students all now ranking in the 33rd–40th percentile statewide—a dramatic jump from the 8th–23rd percentile just two years earlier.

Compared to nearby schools, KIPP Kirkpatrick sits in a highly varied landscape. Less than a mile away, Lockeland Elementary School ranks 2nd in Tennessee with over 90% proficiency in every subject, while Napier Elementary School ranks 1015th with only 6% math proficiency. KIPP's closest neighbor, Explore Community School (0.12 miles away), posts nearly identical math scores (28.9% for both) but spends about $7,700 more per student. Chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically from 48.9% to 29.9% over two years, though it remains above district and state rates. Early-grade math is a critical concern, with 3rd-grade proficiency at just 16.4%.
