About MNPS Virtual School
MNPS Virtual School is an MNPS special-education or alternative program in The Nations / Sylvan Park, serving grades 6–12 in Davidson County.
This is a placement-based MNPS program rather than a school you apply to in the usual way: it has no attendance zone and no open application. Students arrive by referral or placement — through an IEP team, the district discipline process, or a credit-recovery referral — so the place to start is your current school counselor or the MNPS Exceptional Education office.
Tennessee gave it a letter grade of C for 2024-25. 32% of students met or exceeded state expectations on TCAP, above the 31% average across the 144 public schools in this guide with reported scores. Its TVAAS academic-growth rating is Level 3 (average).
It enrolled 131 students in 2023-24.
For families weighing logistics: MNPS busing is available, and there is no uniform requirement.
MNPS Virtual School is one of 14 schools this guide lists in The Nations / Sylvan Park and one of 11 MNPS special-education and alternative programs in Davidson County.
