What Makes Our School Unique?
Buena Vista is a historical building in the heart of the Metro Center area off Eighth Avenue North. It is a beautifully constructed building with many unique architectural features.
The students and the community it serves will reap the benefit from being surrounded by the school’s history.
According to research borne from student performance on recent standardized tests, an Enhanced Option School has several benefits which assist all students in their academic success. We have a highly qualified teaching staff and a focus on Balanced Literacy. We have PreK-5th grade students who are given the opportunity to attend an additional 45 minutes each day in order to accelerate the development of and perpetuate their academic skills.
These winning combinations will help us reach the goal of becoming the best performing Enhanced Option School in the Metropolitan Nashville Public School System. |
