CORA HOWE SCHOOL

Cora Howe School is a Title I public school that is part of the Davidson County school district, located in Nashville, TN with about 104 students offering grade levels from 1st Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 18 teachers, Cora Howe School has a student/teacher ratio of about 5:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Cora Howe School, located in the East Nashville area, serves as a specialized institution within the Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS) district. The school is uniquely designed to provide a highly structured, therapeutic learning environment for students who require additional support beyond the traditional classroom setting. By prioritizing social-emotional learning and behavioral development, the school aims to help students navigate challenges and cultivate the necessary skills for long-term academic and personal success.

The school’s approach is rooted in fostering a supportive community where individualized attention is a primary focus. By utilizing small class sizes and a dedicated staff of educators and support professionals, Cora Howe creates a tailored educational experience that focuses on meeting each student's specific behavioral and academic needs. Ultimately, the school serves as a vital resource for families and students seeking an environment that balances rigorous educational standards with the emotional interventions required to thrive.
