MNPS ACT standings
There's a chart at ACT.org that helps put these ACT scores in some context. I've taken that chart and included the names of the Metropolitan Nashville Public School high schools for a clearer look at where we stand nationally.
College Admission Policy | Typical ACT Composite Scores |
|
Highly selective (majority of accepted freshmen in top 10% of high school graduating class) | 27–31 | |
Selective (majority of accepted freshmen in top 25% of high school graduating class) | 22–27 | Hume Fog Magnet |
Traditional (majority of accepted freshmen in top 50% of high school graduating class) | 20–23 | Hillwood |
Liberal (some freshmen from lower half of high school graduating class) | 18-21 | East Literature Magnet |
Open (all high school graduates accepted, to limit of capacity) | 17-20 | Antioch |
Hat tip to Bernie for posting the chart to NashvillePTO Talk.

Certainly room for improvement, but it should be noted for clarity that you don't get a full picture without SAT scores as well. The graduation requirement mandates one of the tests. Generally, students who are planning to attend a public university in Tennessee take the ACT; students planning on applying to private and some out of state universities take the SAT, which is considered a harder test. So, probably the highest achieving students at a school will not be included in the ACT data. Just FYI.
