Nashville High School

Summary:

Nashville High School is a public high school serving grades 10-12 in Nashville, Arkansas, with 465 students enrolled. The school is part of the Nashville School District, which is ranked 112 out of 252 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Nashville High School performs better than the state average in English Language Arts and Reading proficiency, it struggles in Mathematics and Geometry, with proficiency rates significantly below the state average. The school also lags behind in Science and Biology. With a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 70.54% to 72.97%, the school serves a population with significant economic disadvantage. However, the school's spending per student, at $11,544, is higher than nearby schools like Blevins High School ($10,457) and Dierks High School ($10,964), and its student-teacher ratio has been lower than nearby schools, suggesting more individualized attention for students.

Compared to other nearby high schools, such as Murfreesboro High School, which outperforms Nashville High School in most subject areas, and Mineral Springs High School, which has significantly lower proficiency rates across all subject areas, Nashville High School's performance has been inconsistent over time, ranging from 88th out of 264 high schools in 2016-2017 to 209th out of 268 high schools in 2013-2014. The school's administration and faculty should focus on strengthening its math and science curricula and addressing the challenges faced by economically disadvantaged students to improve overall student achievement.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
