See top schools in NashvilleThe W.A. Bass Alternative Learning Center is a public alternative high school in Nashville, Tennessee. The Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS) own it. The school is for students in grades 9–12 who need a different kind of supportive learning environment that meets their specific academic needs. The W.A. Bass Alternative Learning Center focuses on personalized instruction, credit recovery, and flexible academic paths that help students meet graduation requirements and build basic skills. Standardized proficiency data in Math and Reading (ELA) is not usually reported in the same way as it is in regular high schools because it uses a different model. But the students do take the right Tennessee state tests. Depending on their academic goals and plans for graduation, students may also be able to take college-readiness tests like the SAT. People know that the school has helpful support systems, smaller class sizes, and works to help students deal with school problems in a structured way.
