As part of East End Prep’s mission, our goal is that 100% of our students will be proficient or advanced in all subjects before entering high school. We will continue to improve our practices every year to better serve our students every year until our goals are achieved.

2025 – 2026 Academic Highlights

 

In May 2026, Nashville PROPEL released The Black Paper, see here, a citywide study of which Metro Nashville Public Schools are actually growing proficiency for Black students at the elementary and middle school levels. East End Prep is one of a small handful of schools named in the report’s “Celebrate” category,  the schools with the strongest five-year gains in the city.

Since 2020, our Black scholars’ math proficiency has grown by 30 percentage points, tying us for the highest five-year math growth of any middle school in Nashville, and placing us among the top four elementary schools citywide for math growth. Our Black scholars’ ELA proficiency has grown 20 percentage points over the same period, also landing us in the “Celebrate” category at both the elementary and middle school levels. (As a K-8 school, East End Prep shows up in both charts in the report.)

East End Prep was named directly in the report’s recommendations to the district, alongside schools like Purpose Prep, Old Center, Granbery, Head Middle, and Rose Park, as a school MNPS should study to understand what’s working and replicate citywide.
