What Makes Our School Unique?

    Warner Enhanced Option School is a plce where children and learning are loved. Warner School has a rich history of serving children in East Nashville for more than one hundred years. It sits in the middle of Historic Edgefield facing East Park, just a few blocks from the home of the Tennessee Titans.
    Warner School was built in 1892 to replace the old Main Street School. It was named for James C. Warner who has been a member of the Edgefield Board of Education before Edgefield was annexed into Nashville in 1840. The original building was destroyed by the great fire of March 1916, which consumed more than 700 buildings in East Nashville. Our present building was opened in 1918. It was partially destroyed by another fire in 1941 and sustained damage in 1998 when it was hit by a tornado.
    Our school has a dedicated staff who requested to be placed at Warner. Through the Reading Excellence Act and Reading First Grant, our teachers have received staff development and materials to help us be able to help our children make the progress they need to make in reading.
    Warner also partners with Tennessee State University and the Educational Testing Service to provide professional development to teachers in order to strengthen mathematics instruction through a SITES-M Grant.

Who Attends Our School?

    Enhanced option schools have class sizes of 15:1 in grades K-3 and 20:1 in 4th grade. Pre-K classes are 20:2 wth a certified teacher and educational assistant. An additional 45 minutes is added to each school day for students. Enhanced option schools also include pre-kindergarten programs, social services, an ENCORE teacher for gifted and talented students and after school care. Students who do not live in the enhanced option school's zone must go through the application process and must provide their own transportation.
    Students attending Warner live east of downtown Nashville and are zoned to Stratford High School. The elementary schools in the Stratford cluster are: Inglewood, Kirkpatrick Enhanced Option, Lockeland Design Center, Dan Mills, Rosebank, Ross and Warner Enhanced Option. The middle schools are Bailey and Litton.
