KA @ The Crossings School

KA @ The Crossings School is a small public school in Antioch, Tennessee, serving roughly 400 students in grades 5 through 12 as part of Metro Nashville Public Schools, a district currently ranked 126th out of 141 districts in Tennessee. The school's overall state ranking fell to 336th out of 400 high schools (16th percentile) for 2025–2026, down from 258th the previous year, placing it in the lower tier of nearby high schools in the area.

Academically, proficiency rates are well below state averages in most subjects. Only 28.7% of students are proficient in math (compared to 43.0% statewide), and just 15.5% are proficient in English language arts (compared to 40.6% statewide). The weakest areas are 9th-grade English I (7.5% proficient) and geometry (10.3%), though the school has shown meaningful math improvement over four years, rising from 9.1% to 28.7%. The school spends substantially more per student ($25,300) than nearby Antioch High School ($15,541), John Overton High School ($15,984), and Cane Ridge High School ($16,342), yet results remain in the bottom quartile statewide. Only The Academy at Hickory Hollow spends more among nearby schools.

Chronic absenteeism affects 38.6% of students — about twice the state average — and likely contributes to the low scores. On a positive note, English Learner students rank 6th statewide, and low-income students rank in the 71st percentile, earning 4-star ratings for both subgroups. The graduation rate is solid at 89.6%, though the dropout rate jumped to 10.4%. By comparison, Valor Flagship Academy School, just 4.4 miles away, ranks 50th statewide with far higher proficiency and attendance, while Nolensville High School in Williamson County ranks 23rd. LEAD Southeast School and Intrepid College Preparatory Charter School also outperform KA. Families should weigh the school's genuine strengths with English Learner and low-income students against its overall academic and attendance challenges.
