District-Level NCES Analysis

Tennessee Public Charter School Commission operates 9 public schools serving 3,818 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Tennessee. The school portfolio breaks down into 5 elementary, 2 other, 1 high, 1 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 4,450 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Davidson County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,599 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 0.9% local, 92.4% state, and 6.7% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. The district's equity score — 47/100, ranked #35 of 140 in Tennessee against a state average of 38 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 9 schools offering Advanced Placement (3 AP courses district-wide), a 462.3:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 25.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 62.5% African American, 21.9% Hispanic or Latino, 12.3% White across the district's schools.

Nashville Collegiate Prep accounts for 18.8% of all Tennessee Public Charter School Commission student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Tennessee Public Charter School Commission-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.

Tennessee Public Charter School Commission student-counselor ratio is 462:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)

student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment — districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.

Tennessee Public Charter School Commission chronic absenteeism rate is 25.3% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism

chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason — illness, family obligations, or disengagement Variation between sub-units within Tennessee Public Charter School Commission is typically wider than the Tennessee Public Charter School Commission-aggregate figure suggests.
