1 Locating Quality: A Seat Analysis of Metro Nashville Public Schools An in-depth look at the distribution of quality seats within Metro Nashville Public Schools Introduction Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS) faces a crisis of quality, with only 14 percent of seats in the district rated as high quality by its own measure. Over the last several years a number of high performing charter schools have emerged in Nashville, posting some of the highest gains and overall performance in the district on state assessments. Currently, Nashville charter schools serve five percent of district students1, yet charters make up 33 percent of MNPS schools on the state s Reward Schools List2. This kind of success should encourage district officials to consider all ways charters can be used to help bring about the dramatic improvements in student outcomes needed in MNPS. Charter schools are not a silver bullet, nor are they the only solution needed, but at a time when the district must leverage all resources to dramatically increase the number or high quality seats, now is not the time to limit the growth of a model that is getting results. Unfortunately, the recently adopted Resolution for Establishing Priorities for Deploying Charter Schools in Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools In 2014 (Resolution)3 instead severely limits where and in what manner charters can be approved to operate. This Resolution limits approval of new charters to those that will turnaround a limited number of failing district schools or locate in areas of dramatic population growth. Using charters to turnaround failing schools and to manage growth are indeed recommendations included in this report. These measures are necessary but not sufficient if Nashville is committed to providing a high quality education to every child. The Resolution amounts to a moratorium on charter school growth in many areas that have little or no access to high quality schools and is a missed opportunity to leverage the incredible success of charters in Nashville. Charter schools are not a silver bullet, nor are they the only solution needed, but at a time when the district must leverage all resources to dramatically increase the number of high quality seats, now is not the time to limit the growth of a model that is getting results. Only one in seven seats provided by MNPS are considered high quality. In March of, MNPS took an important step toward raising expectations for educational outcomes with the release of its Academic Performance Framework (APF). The APF uses a variety of measures including the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) test scores, the Tennessee Value-Added Assessment System (TVAAS) growth measures, school climate survey data, graduation rates, and measures of college readiness. The APF derives a performance management score across all school types (traditional, magnet, charter), and determines an overall status for each school seat in one of five tiers: Excelling, Achieving, Satisfactory, Review, or Target. For simplicity in this analysis, we refer to seats labeled Excelling or Achieving by MNPS as high quality, seats labeled satisfactory as satisfactory, pg Tennessee Charter School Center -1-
2 Locating Quality: A Seat Analysis of Metro Nashville Public Schools and seats labeled Review or Target as low quality. We use the terminology seats in this analysis because, while analyzing district-wide resource allocation, we believe it is important to think of quality on the individual student level. "Supply" is the term used to indicate the building seat capacity for enrollment. A school labeled "high quality" with the capacity to serve 500 students creates a "supply" of 500 high quality seats. The current district supply is 88,880 seats- of which only 12,577 are deemed to be high quality. This analysis takes information from the APF a step further by breaking down the data geographically by cluster, revealing how high quality, satisfactory, and low quality seats are distributed throughout the district. For example, while the district-wide distribution shows a supply of 14 percent high quality seats, 43 percent satisfactory seats, and 43 percent low quality seats, the White s Creek cluster contains no seats designated as high quality in the APF. In a district with over 38,000 low quality seats we cannot take any options to increase performance off the table Supply By Seat Type 38,558 12,577 37,745 High Quality Seats Satisfactory Seats Low Quality Seats ANTIOCH HILLWODD OVERTON CANE RIDGE HUNTER S LANE PEARL-COHN GLENCLIFF MAPLEWOOD STRATFORD HILLSBORO M GAVOCK WHITE S CREEK C Magnet Supply By Seat Type 387 3,339 High Quality Seats Satisfactory Seats Low Quality Seats -2Tennessee Charter School Center
3 Locating Quality: A Seat Analysis of Metro Nashville Public Schools Findings 1. District Wide Far too many MNPS students are not receiving a high quality education. Currently, two of every five district seats available are considered low quality, while a 14% 43% similar portion are merely deemed satisfactory. Only 43% one in seven seats provided by MNPS are considered to be high quality5. 2. More than one in three charter school seats are rated high quality seats. 3. In the majority of MNPS clusters, students have more access to low quality seats than high quality seats. 4. Over 22 percent of Nashville schools, by building High Quality Seats 12,577 Satisfactory Seats 37,745 Low Quality Seats 38,558 White s Creek Cluster4 17% capacity, are under-enrolled, while 33.8 percent are oversubscribed % MNPS growth is concentrated in areas with already oversubscribed schools.

4 Locating Quality: A Seat Analysis of Metro Nashville Public Schools 1. Create high quality seats in communities that lack great public school options Over 38,000 seats offered by MNPS are considered low-performing seats. The Resolution addresses only a fraction of those seats. Families and students in Nashville do not have the luxury of waiting for the district to make the dramatic turnaround gains that are needed across the city. Families and students in Nashville do not have the luxury of waiting for the district to make the dramatic turnaround While the district has posted improvements in test scores over the last several years, these have been only incremental gains. The district has gains that are needed set ambitious goals for all schools to be at 71 percent proficiency by across the city At the current rate of improvement the district will not reach this goal until 2019 in Math and 2040 in Reading/Language Arts. In contrast, a number of charter schools have raised student achievement levels significantly in the last 2-3 years while serving high needs students. Some charter schools are already eclipsing the 71 percent proficient/advanced mark in certain subjects. In order to produce such rapid and transformational results, the district should partner with charter operators with track records of success to create high quality schools that are located in and/or accessible to underserved neighborhoods as a key lever for achieving the dramatic results MNPS seeks. Limiting new charters to turnarounds and areas of the city with enrollment growth will leave thousands of students stuck in low performing seats with no high quality school options in their neighborhood and is unacceptable. The Resolution claims that over 25 percent of families in MNPS are currently exercising school choice. Unfortunately, only 13 of the 71 improvement the schools the district considers choice schools (this number does not district will not reach include charter schools) are rated high performing by the APF, with 31 its proficiency goals schools rated as low quality. Further, transportation is not provided by until 2019 in Math and the district for its choice schools. Though bus passes are provided for some low income students this does not represent a full choice as most 2040 in Reading/ parents would not send an elementary or middle school-aged child Language Arts. alone on a city bus. While not required to, Nashville charter schools provide transportation, another reason they offer meaningful choices to parents. At the current rate of Some will argue that we cannot create more charters because they are draining resources from the district. As charter schools are actually a part of the district, this could not be further from the truth. MNPS should consider its nearly $800 million annual budget as a flexible pot of resources not a fixed cost -- that can be quickly and efficiently steered toward strategies that maximize student learning. In practice, that means doing deep-dive analyses of the district s clusters and determining which schools in a particular area are best delivering for students. In some cases it may be a charter school and other times it may be the traditional neighborhood school. But the willingness to be agnostic about school model focuses all stakeholders attention on the thing that matters most: student achievement Tennessee Charter School Center
5 Locating Quality: A Seat Analysis of Metro Nashville Public Schools 2. Tap charters to turnaround persistently underperforming seats The Resolution acknowledges the success of charter schools by aiming to transform persistently failing district schools using the charter model. The MNPS izone a network of 10 schools which have been targeted for turnaround to improve student performance is an innovative first step in improving some persistently underperforming seats and charter transformation is a logical next step in that effort. The results of similar transformation efforts in Philadelphia point to the kind of dramatic results that can be achieved with this strategy. Mastery Charter Schools 3 Year Turnaround Growth PSSA-% Prof/Adv-8th Grade MATH Thomas District Pre-Turnaround Mastery Change +47 Shoemaker Pickett READING Thomas District Pre-Turnaround Mastery Change +45 Shoemaker Pickett Now in its fourth year of operation, the Renaissance School initiative 9 in Philadelphia is delivering promising results. Of the three Mastery Renaissance Schools reporting data from three consecutive years, all have seen significant advances in student proficiency.10 The results are equally convincing for the schools they have operated for between one and two years11. Mastery is significantly raising the academic achievement bar by transforming a neighborhood school and retaining students. The same transformation can take place in Nashville s highest-need schools. 3. Use chartering to help manage enrollment growth throughout the district The Resolution limits charter school growth to cluster tiers with projected enrollment increases at 120 percent of projected capacity, a definition that is arbitrary and far too limiting. As a city with a growing reputation as one of the best places to live in the country, Nashville-Davidson County continues to experience robust population growth. The Nashville Area Metropolitan Planning Organization expects 41,000 more residents and 27,000 more households by 2015, only to continue growing after that12. MNPS expects enrollment to grow by nearly 16 percent over the next five years, from 81,000 to 94,000. This growth will largely be focused in 5 of the 12 clusters: Antioch, Cane Ridge, Hillsboro, Hunter s Lane, and Overton - all of which will have enrollment between 4-20 percent over current capacity. Taken together, nearly 4,000 new seats will need to be created in these clusters over the next five years. These enrollment projections also do not take into account the thousands of Nashville families who choose to send their children to private schools because they are not satisfied with the public school options and would return if provided with high performing public school choices.

6 Locating Quality: A Seat Analysis of Metro Nashville Public Schools schools offer an opportunity to create new public school seats at a faster pace, a lower cost, and with higher quality. The cost for MNPS to construct a new elementary school building to serve approximately 800 students is around $17 million13, at a rough cost of $21,250 per student. This amount does not include MNPS staff resources devoted to construction or project management, land acquisition costs, or start-up money to buy new books, furniture, etc. In addition, the process to construct a new school, with land acquisition, community meetings, neighborhood planning, and construction often takes three to four years. It is a costly and time expensive process. Antioch Cluster 8,800 8,600 8,400 8,200 8,000 7,800 7,600 7,400 7,800 Enrollment Enrollment Cane Ridge Cluster 7,600 7,400 7,200 7,000 6,800 Alternatively, a new public charter school opens its doors a year and a half after being authorized by MNPS. Accounting for charter application time, a new charter school can be up and running in two years. For example, Rocketship TN is constructing a new elementary school facility and will open as a full school (as this type of financing is atypical to most charters, most charter schools must lease space during the first years of operation, and typically add a grade each year). Rocketship TN estimates its new facility will cost approximately $6.5 million and serve nearly 650 students, at an estimated cost of $10,000 per student14. Given this kind of potential cost savings, the district should look to charters to help manage growth in multiple areas in lieu of costly construction of new district schools. MNPS has a track record for approving quality operators in its charter authorization process, and data indicates that most authorized charter schools in Nashville are performing at a high level for students. MNPS should look to charter schools to expand enrollment capacity in high need clusters faster, at a lower cost, all while resulting in more high quality seats for students. Limiting growth to cluster tiers with a projected enrollment of 120 percent of capacity is arbitrary and capricious. 6,400 6,200 6,000 5,800 6,400 Enrollment Enrollment Hillsboro Cluster 6,200 6,000 5,800 5,600 5,400 5,200 5,000 4,800 8,700 8,500 8,300 8,100 7,900 7,700 7,500 Enrollment Enrollment Hunter s Lane Cluster 7,300 7,100 6,900 6,700 9,400 9,200 9,000 8,800 8,600 8,400 8,200 8,000 7,800 7,600 7,400 7,200 7,000 Enrollment Enrollment Overton Cluster Enrollment Enrollment Communication with Rocketship staff Tennessee Charter School Center

Close underperforming charter school seats. 84,000 Student Enrollment The district s APF indicates that 82,000 there are some consistently low 80,000 performing charter school seats 78,000 in Nashville. These schools should be given a fair window of time to 76,000 improve, but schools that show 74,000 consistent academic under-per72, formance should be considered Projection Projection for closure or non-renewal. In exchange for operating with greater levels of autonomy, charter schools are held responsible for student achievement. If particular charter schools are unable to show meaningful academic gains and achievement for students with this greater autonomy they should be closed. 5. Focus on student-oriented solutions: MNPS, Metro Government and the Nashville Chamber of Commerce should publicly track the availability of high quality seats on an annual basis. The APF and seat analysis illuminate the harsh realities of the current educational outcomes in MNPS. With this baseline now established, the community should come together to set ambitious goals to dramatically improve the number of high quality seats over the next five years. This puts the focus of our community s resources squarely where they should be- at the student level - and not at the district level. We must focus our resources on what is working, regardless of governance structure. In order to make this a reality, the district must shift its focus to creating a portfolio of schools magnet, district-managed or charter operator. This focus will inform critical improvement strategies and decisions, including resource allocation, not only identifying where intervention is needed, but in also identifying high-fliers and schools that continue to defy the odds. Specific practices and habits of these high performing schools can be leveraged to share with schools across the district to help all schools improve. Publicly tracking the availability of high quality seats and who provides these seats for students improves our ability to deliver a high quality education for every student in the system. Notes on Methodology: Supply is the term used to indicate the building seat capacity for possible enrollment. Current MNPS supply is 88,880 seats. Current district enrollment stands at 79,816. Many schools have enrollment above the defined supply, made possible by portable buildings, etc., and many have enrollment well below the defined supply. As many charter schools are located in private facilities that do not have consistent building program capacity data, seat supply -7Tennessee Charter School Center
8 Locating Quality: A Seat Analysis of Metro Nashville Public Schools for those schools is defined by each school s charter capacity as defined in their charter contract. Under this analysis, a whole school is assigned an overall status level as determined by the MNPS Performance Management Framework. In reality, seat quality can vary within a school. There can be strong academic classrooms in overall low performing schools, and weak academic classrooms in overall high performing schools. For example, Overton High School most recently had a 2014 National Merit Semi-Finalist, but under the most recent Academic Performance Framework data, Overton was designated as a Review school. Enrollment can be thought of as a proxy for demand. Parents do not demand low quality seats, but sometimes have no other option than their zoned school. A more sophisticated analysis of demand throughout MNPS would account for additional information including: applications received in excess of seats available given a school s building capacity as well as geo-locating individual students submitting applications to and attending choice schools. This level of data is not available to public and is not included in this analysis. For the purposes of definition, the analysis assumes enrollment in charter schools and a number of magnet schools come from the geographic home cluster of that respective school (with the exception of the academic magnet cluster). This is not always the case in practice, particularly with charter schools with a smaller market share in the city (a charter school located in East Nashville may enroll students from the Antioch cluster, Pearl Cohn Cluster, Hunter s Lane cluster, etc). The district s alternative schools, behavior schools, and special education schools are not given scores within the Academic Performance Framework, and thus are not included in this analysis. The data in this analysis includes the 12 geographic clusters as well as a designated non-geographic magnet cluster. The cluster by cluster data is as follows: Magnet Cluster Antioch Cluster Cane Ridge Cluster 2% 10% 90% 43% 32% 59% 39% 25% High Quality Seats 3,339 High Quality Seats 2,542 High Quality Seats 136 Satisfactory Seats 387 Low Quality Seats 0 Satisfactory Seats 2,048 Low Quality Seats 3,429 Satisfactory Seats 2,494 Low Quality Seats 3,802-8Tennessee Charter School Center
