High Schools (Grades 9-12) in South Nashville, Antioch & Oak Hill
8 high schools (grades 9-12) in South Nashville, Antioch & Oak Hill; 5 are on the 2026-27 EFS list and 4 on the ESA list. From Melrose and Oak Hill down to Antioch: Father Ryan and Lipscomb Academy, a Coptic Orthodox academy, Church of Christ and non-denominational K-12 schools, and a school for learning differences.
Where this comes from. School details merge the NCES Private School Survey (2023-24) with the Tennessee Department of Education's 2026-27 Non-Public Schools Directory (updated October 5, 2026), its EFS registered-school list (updated August 24, 2026) and its Middle Tennessee ESA list (updated September 24, 2026), all retrieved October 28, 2026. Tuition is not reported to the state, so confirm it with the school.
Funding note: The EFS amount is the same at every grade, so $7,530 covers a smaller share at a high school; the Dual Enrollment Grant can pay for college courses on top.
