1 Nashville Area Education Guide A comprehensive look at the K-12 schools and programs that nurture our children. Published by: Sponsored by: Print Underwriter: Greater Nashville Association of Realtors

2 A message from the Chairman: An Introduction "There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance." - Socrates Selected Highlights: Nashville public schools M.L. King Magnet, Hume-Fogg Academic and Hillsboro High rank high on Newsweek magazine's annual list of America's Top U.S. Public High Schools, placing 39th, 43rd and 496th, respectively. Four other Nashville-area high schools made the list: Brentwood (227th), Franklin (563rd), Fairview (833rd) and Centennial (909th). With a burgeoning Hispanic population and 29 percent of the state of Tennessee's English Language Learner (ELL) students, Metro Nashville Public Schools launched a Hispanic Outreach program to foster better communications between the school district and the families and communities of these students. Education is economic development. We have internalized this phrase at the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce, because it s true. In fact, no single issue is more important to the continued prosperity of Nashville and the Nashville region than education and the pursuit of education excellence for our youth. Our business community has a role to play in ensuring that every student, regardless of race, color or socioeconomic status has access to a great education. And one thing s for certain, that role does not involve sitting on the sidelines. I m proud to see the Nashville Area Chamber rallying business and community leadership around providing even stronger resources and support for education starting at pre-k and particularly focused on public schools. Nashville has long been compared to Athens, the ancient city of learning, because of the city s concentration of post-secondary educational institutions. But one could easily connect Nashville s Athens of the South nickname to the diverse pool of primary and secondary education options. Here s to access, achievement and excellence. Sincerely, Darrell S. Freeman, Sr. Board Chairman, Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce President & CEO Zycron Inc. Whether it is an individual moving for a job or a corporation relocating its headquarters, educational quality and school choice are two of the most important factors considered when evaluating a community. With more than 130 public schools in Metro Nashville, 50 private schools in the immediate area, and many more quality public and private schools in the surrounding counties the Nashville area offers an array of educational options. But given the sheer number of schools, determining which school a student would or should attend can be a daunting task. The Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce is committed to supporting and improving educational excellence for the region s children. We have designed this brochure to introduce you to our schools and help guide you in your search in choosing the school that is the best fit for your family. The State of Tennessee provides a report card for school districts and detailed information on each school. Data on private schools must be obtained from each individual institution. Each year, the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce releases its Citizens Panel for a Community Report Card. This report is a detailed analysis of the strengths and challenges of the district through the eyes of the citizens of Nashville. However, one of the best methods to assess school quality is for parents and students to visit the school and talk to the administrators, teachers and students. The Metro Nashville Public Schools district has been nominated for the 2007 Broad Prize for Urban Education, a distinction that recognizes the greatest improvements in student achievement with a $1 million award. Metro Schools web site provides data on every public school in Metro Nashville. You can review school assessment data, as well as find direct links to school web sites. 1

3 Metro Nashville Public Schools In nearly four decades as an educator, I haven t met anyone who didn t have a favorite teacher he or she appreciated and respected -- some incredible man or woman remembered for making a difference in his or her life. Whether it was a bright young woman who taught algebra in high school, a mature gentleman who explained geography in middle school or the dynamic coach who inspired and motivated, we all have at least one great teacher we will never forget. In Metro Nashville Public Schools, we have thousands of men and women who are some student s favorite teacher. They come from many states and countries and have different degrees, training and life experiences. should learn and be able to do. School leaders have developed partnerships with the business and civic communities, as well as with families, to work together in ways that will help students. We believe all students can learn and achieve, and that belief is producing results. Our most recent test scores reflect these results in record gains in reading, math, science and social studies. The excitement of these outstanding test scores also brings a desire to achieve more. Our outstanding staff works to meet the challenges of preparing all students for working and living in a complex, everchanging world. MNPS Clusters School clusters are a group of schools geographically close together, where the individual schools in the group interact with one another. Each cluster is named for the high school in that cluster. All students in a cluster s elementary and middle schools will, eventually, attend that high school. There are a number of elementary and middle schools in each cluster. Each cluster is made up of geographic zones. Where a family resides in the cluster determines which zoned elementary and middle school a student attends. Zone maps are available online at the MNPS web site, or you can call the MNPS Customer Service Center for assistance, INFO. All of us with MNPS are dedicated to what happens in the classroom and to making sure every child succeeds. We know the children of today are the leaders of tomorrow, and we are pleased and proud to help them grow and achieve.

5 MNPS Options Magnet Schools Magnets are schools of choice which serve as special learning centers for students from ALL parts of the county. Some magnet programs have academic admissions standards while others are built around specialized themes or methods of teaching. A magnet program can offer unique educational experiences based on students interests and abilities. All are stand-alone schools, except the Business Magnet housed at Pearl-Cohn High School. Q. Who is eligible to apply for Metro Magnet Schools? Any student in Davidson County may apply for a magnet school. Of course, students may only apply for schools with the grade or age level they will be entering during the next school year. (No applications at birth, please!) Acceptance is contingent upon passing to the next grade at the end of the current school year. Parents are encouraged to find out as much as possible about each program and try to match their child s interests and learning style to the school. Q. What is the process of getting a child into a magnet school? A random lottery is held in January for students applying for the magnet schools with an application deadline in December. Parents will be notified in February and March of their child s acceptance into a magnet. Others will be selected as vacancies are reported throughout the spring and summer. Students wishing to apply for Nashville School of the Arts may elect to audition or exhibit an art portfolio, write an essay, or interview. This process is prior to the lottery, and students who pass it are admitted without going through the lottery. Students who apply after the application deadline will audition at a later time if there are positions available in their art field. Students wishing to apply for Meigs, Martin Luther King, and Hume-Fogg must have achievement test (CRT) scores ADVANCED in math and reading; and a grade point average of 85 or above. ALL students who are applying for the 11th and 12th grades must have a copy of their transcript, grades and test scores (for academic magnets) attached to their application. Q. When may I apply for a magnet school? Applications are taken from November until August of each year, but must be received in the magnet/optional school office by the deadline date, usually in December, to be in the lottery. You increase your child s chance of getting into a magnet by applying for the entry grade for the school. However, you may apply for the upper grades as well. Q. May I apply for more than one magnet school? Yes. If a student is selected for more than one school, the student is able to choose which school he/she would prefer to attend. The opening at the school not chosen will be filled by the next name on the waiting lists. Acceptance of a seat in one program will automatically remove the student s name from other enrollment or waiting list. The lottery will be televised live and the results will be on the web site Parents of students who were selected will be sent an acceptance letter and will need to return the acceptance letter indicating their school choice by the deadline date stated in the letter. Failure to return the acceptance form by the deadline will result in loss of seat in the magnet program. Q. What about transportation? Transportation is not provided to MNPS magnet schools; however, MTA buses run to each magnet school from most sections of the county. Please contact MTA at Following orientation and registration, most schools will have a listing of students by ZIP code for interested parents so that they may arrange car pools. Enhanced Option Elementary Schools The main features of enhanced option schools are class sizes of 15:1 and 20 additional days of school for students. Enhanced option schools also include Pre-K programs, social services, an Encore teacher for gifted and talented students, and after-school care. The teachers receive additional training in reading and mathematics. The curriculum has a strong emphasis on ensuring success for all students. Core academic areas include reading, writing, mathematics, social studies and science. Related arts courses are the same as in other elementary schools. Students living in the school zone or designated areas have first choice at enrolling in these schools. Students living outside the designated areas must apply through the lottery and go on a waiting list for space available. ENCORE Program challenges gifted students Intellectually gifted and academically talented students are those whose intellectual abilities and potential for achievement are so outstanding that they need special attention to meet their educational needs. The ENCORE Program is designed to assist these students by providing a curriculum that challenges them and encourages them to be responsible, resourceful and productive throughout their lives. The ENCORE Program serves children age three through grade six. ENCORE classes meet one-half day each week in local schools (grades K-2) or in an ENCORE center (grades 3-6). Since ENCORE is an optional program in Metro Schools, parents provide transportation to ENCORE classes when necessary. Characteristics of an Intellectually Gifted Child displays a great curiosity about objects, situations or events wants to know "how" and "why" has an exceptional memory shows a keen sense of observation about human interaction displays a sensitivity to the feelings of others observes details shows a keen sense of humor displays an early tendency to do things alone When you recognize some of these traits in your child or another child you know, contact the child's school and inquire about having him or her assessed for advanced academic talent. Parents, guardians, pediatricians, child care professionals, certified school personnel and students themselves may make referrals for assessment for ENCORE. Students may be referred to the local school support team or directly to the ENCORE office for assessment consideration. Eligibility is determined based on demonstration of advanced classroom performance, superior results on a national-normed achievement test, and evidence of higher-level thinking as measured by assessment of abstract reasoning and logical thinking. Information about gifted education in general is available on the Internet under the heading "gifted education." Persons with questions or concerns about assessment should call the Metro Schools Customer Service Center at INFO. 6 7

6 MNPS Options Scholars Program (Grades 9-12) Requires students to complete four credits in English, three in math, three in science, three in social studies, two in foreign language, and two in visual or performing arts. English and social studies credits must be earned in advanced placement or honors classes. Students in this program are recognized with a Distinguished Scholar diploma ( GPA) or Academic Honors diploma (85-92 GPA). School Choice How many schools are involved? Why? Before deciding against one of these schools, parents should talk to the principal. Many of these schools missed a level of good standing because they missed one or two of the 38 possible benchmarks. The choice to stay or move to another school follows the required annual evaluation by the State of Tennessee Department of Education under the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act. The most recent evaluation found some schools had not reached goals set the previous year and must now offer parents the choice of keeping their child in that school or moving to another. What parents should do If parents in any of these schools decide to move their children, they must choose a new school and submit an application for changing enrollment typically by the end of October. Parents will be notified which school their child has been accepted to attend, and they will have a certain amount of time to accept that choice. Students will then be enrolled and expected to attend classes. Things to think about before making a choice Some key factors parents and students should consider in deciding whether to move or stay: Students in the affected schools are eligible for choice if they live in the school's attendance zone or the students are assigned to attend this school by the district. Transportation to and from the new school is provided free as long as the current school does not meet NCLB Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) standards. If the current school meets AYP standards in two years, transportation to the new school will not be provided. If a parent moves out of the school's attendance zone, free transportation will not be provided. If a parent has two children in the current school and wishes both children to be moved, Metro Nashville Public Schools may not be able to place both children in the same school. Parents of transferring students in grades seven and eight should call the MNPS athletics office to determine if the move will affect a child's eligibility to participate in sports. Students must maintain satisfactory attendance, good behavior and grades to remain at the school of choice. MNPS will give priority to the lowest-achieving students from low-income families. Q. When does the School Board meet? Regular meetings of the Board of Public Education are held at the Administration Building of Metropolitan Public Schools, 2601 Bransford Avenue, at 5 p.m. on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month. These meetings are open to the public. The Metro Board of Public Education's regular meetings are televised on Metro s Government Access Channel 3 (Comcast cable, Davidson County). Q. Where do I find a school calendar for this school year? A school calendar for Davidson County can be viewed at Q. How do I find out about MNPS transportation? Transportation information and instructions are available on If you do not know which school your child will be attending, please call INFO. Note: The following students are not eligible for transportation: High school students living within 1.5 miles of their attending school. Elementary school students living within 1.25 miles of their attending school. Middle school students living within 1.25 miles of their attending school. Magnet school students are not eligible for transportation.
