Nashville Charter School Guide

NASHVILLE CHARTER SCHOOL GUIDE HOW TO APPLY FOR THE 2020-21 SCHOOL YEAR

CREATED BY THE NASHVILLE CHARTER COLLABORATIVE

WWW.NASHVILLECHARTERCOLLABORATIVE.ORG

ABOUT THIS GUIDE You’re reading this because you’re exploring your school options in Nashville and possibly looking for something different than what’s offered at your zoned or neighborhood school.

Public charter schools were created for exactly that purpose—to give families choice in our public education system. Public charter schools are part of the MNPS school district; but because they are independently operated by nonprofits, they have the flexibility to design their school environment to best meet the needs of the specific students they serve. Public charter schools are held to higher standards by the state and local government than traditional schools.

AS A RESULT, NASHVILLE IS HOME TO SOME OF THE TOP-PERFORMING PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOLS IN THE COUNTRY.

This guide was designed to help you explore the different public charter school options in Nashville and find schools that best fit your family’s needs. There is also information in this guide on how to apply to a charter school. Public charter schools are open to all K-12 students in Nashville-Davidson County. Unlike zoned schools, they are available regardless of where you live. They are also different from selective public schools—like magnet schools—because there are no special entrance requirements, such as test scores or grades. Most charter schools in Nashville participate in the Optional Schools Application process offered by MNPS. The timeline and process for the application is set by the school district. However, some public charter schools have their own application and selection process for enrollment. LEARN MORE ABOUT THE APPLICATION PROCESS FOR INDIVIDUAL SCHOOLS ON PAGES 10-45 OF THIS GUIDE.

ABOUT THE NASHVILLE CHARTER COLLABORATIVE The Nashville Charter Collaborative is a program of the Tennessee Charter School Center. For public charter schools in Nashville with a track record of high achievement and high growth, the Collaborative offers their leaders a structure to work together on areas of shared need, such as professional development and recruitment of high-quality teachers. Collectively, we believe that education transforms lives and that every child in Nashville has the right to a high-quality public education.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS WHAT IS A CHARTER SCHOOL? Charter schools are public schools. They are part of the MNPS school district. Like other public schools, they are free and open to all children who live in Davidson County. But unlike zoned schools, they are open for enrollment regardless of where you live.

Because they are independently operated by nonprofits, public charter schools have the flexibility to innovate and design their school to best meet the needs of the students they serve.

This is why charter schools were created: to incubate innovative educational practices and to serve students whose needs aren’t being met in traditional school settings.

Public charter schools are also different from selective public schools—like academic magnet ARE ALL CHARTER SCHOOLS THE SAME? schools—because there are no special entrance No. Some charter schools are managed by requirements, such as test scores.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (CONTINUED) The main difference between public charter schools and traditional public schools is how they are operated. Charter schools are managed by nonprofit organizations, while traditional public schools are managed by the school district. Because they are independently operated by nonprofits, public charter schools have the flexibility to innovate and design their school to best meet the needs of the students they serve.

This is why charter schools were created—to incubate innovative practices that can benefit all students and to serve students whose needs aren’t being met in a traditional school setting.

CAN I TOUR A CHARTER SCHOOL TO LEARN MORE ABOUT IT? Yes! All charter schools in Nashville welcome families for school tours on a regular basis. For information on individual schools, including tour opportunities, refer to pages 10-45 of this guide.

HOW DO I ENROLL MY CHILD IN A CHARTER SCHOOL? Most charter schools in Nashville participate in the Optional Schools Application process offered

by Metro Schools. The timeline and process for the application is set by the school district. However, the following public charter school organizations have their own application and random selection process for enrollment: • Intrepid College Prep Schools • East End Prep • STEM Preparatory Academy • Valor Collegiate Academies • KIPP Antioch College Prep Elementary School • KIPP Antioch College Prep Middle School See pages 48-49 for more information on how to apply to a charter school.

HOW TO APPLY TO OPTIONAL SCHOOLS In addition to charter schools, MNPS offers a variety of school options, including magnet schools, which are schools without a specific school zone that are available only through application, as well as open enrollment schools, which are zoned schools that have capacity to take students who live out of zone. The district runs an application and random selection process each year for optional schools.

MANY PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOLS USE THE DISTRICT’S APPLICATION PROCESS FOR ENROLLMENT. HOWEVER, SOME PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOLS HAVE A SEPARATE APPLICATION. THEIR DEADLINES MAY BE DIFFERENT AND ARE LISTED BELOW.

WAITLIST NOTIFICATIONS: ONGOING THROUGH SUMMER As some families choose not to accept seats offered to them at optional schools, families on the waitlist are notified and given the opportunity to accept the seats. This occurs in several cycles through mid summer.

More information about the Optional Schools timeline can be found online at www.mnps.org/ school-options.

Families are notified about the results of the application process and given approximately a month to “accept” their seat at an optional school.

HOW TO APPLY TO OPTIONAL SCHOOLS (CONTINUED)

Filling Out the Optional Schools Application The Optional Schools Application is available online at www.MNPSschoolchoice.org. Here are some tips to help you understand what to expect with the application and selection process: • You must be a Davidson County resident before submitting an Optional Schools Application for your child.

• A Metro Schools-issued student identification (ID) number is required to submit an application.

ID numbers for students new to Metro Schools can be acquired at any of the district’s 12 enrollment centers or the MNPS Family Information Center.

• You can apply for up to seven (7) schools on the application. School choices must be prioritized from 1 (highest priority) to 7 (lowest priority).

• All applications are entered into a computerized random selection process.

• Your child will be put on a waitlist for any schools that were listed higher on your priority list than the school where your child was selected to attend.

• Your child will be “opted out” of any schools that were listed lower on the priority list than the school where your child was selected to attend.

• Families who list few options or only list schools in high demand may not be selected for any of the schools on their application.

• When a family chooses not to accept a seat, that seat is made available to families on the waitlist in the order in which they are numbered.

• Families will be “pulled” from the waitlist to be offered available seats through the fifth day of school in the new school year.

• Paper applications are accepted. However, families are encouraged to apply online.

• If your child is selected to attend one of the schools on your application during the random selection process, you will be offered the opportunity to accept a seat in that school.
