Metro Nashville Public Schools, or MNPS, is a school district that serves the city of Nashville, Tennessee and Davidson County.[2] As of the 2020–21 school year more than 80,000 students were enrolled in the district's 162 schools.[1]
Schools in the MNPS district include, but not limited too, schools like, MEIGS Magnet Middle School, Rose Park Math and Science Magnet Middle School, Hume Fogg Magnet High School, and MLK Magnet High School.
History
Metro Nashville Public Schools traces its roots to 1855, when Hume School opened its doors. In 1963, Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools officially formed with the unification of Nashville and Davidson County schools.[3] The district today includes 155 schools, offering instruction from Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade, with high schools also offering college-level credits.
Academics
More than 99 percent of MNPS teachers meet federal standards in at least one subject, with 98.90 percent of classes taught by a highly qualified instructor. The average teacher experience is 13.0 years at the elementary level, 11.5 years at the middle school level, and 14.0 years at the high school level. A total of 39.83 percent of MNPS teachers have a bachelor's degree, 36.67 percent have a master's degree, 18.81 percent have Master's plus, and 4.6 percent have a doctorate degree.[citation needed]
Current enrollment reflects a diverse spectrum of backgrounds. Students represent more than 100 countries [clarification needed] and speak languages from more than 100 language groups. MNPS currently has the International Baccalaureate programs in nine schools. Also of note are the magnet schools Hume-Fogg, Nashville School of the Arts, and Martin Luther King.
