Starting Time

Will MNPS change school start times?

TC Weber digs into the latest:

Model 1: Squeeze

High schools shift later by 20 minutes, elementary schools by 10 minutes, middle schools unchanged.

  • High School: 7:25–2:25
  • Elementary: 8:10–3:10
  • Middle: 8:55–3:55

Model 2: Shift

All schools start 15 minutes later.

  • High School: 7:20–2:20
  • Elementary: 8:15–3:15
  • Middle: 9:10–4:10

Model 3: No Change

  • High School: 7:05–2:05
  • Elementary: 8:00–3:00
  • Middle: 8:55–3:55

Now, the district must decide on what (if any) change will be made.

What Time Should School Start?

Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS) is studying school start times – perhaps with a look toward changing them to better meet the needs of students and families.

From the MNPS website:

Nashville Public Schools, in partnership with Mayor Freddie O’Connell’s Office and the Metro Nashville Board of Education, is conducting a districtwide review of school start and end times to better align with student well-being, family needs, and transportation efficiency.

This process is just beginning. No decisions have been made. The goal is to gather feedback, data, and community input to make informed decisions about potential changes that will be considered in the early part of 2026.
