A basic skills, yet comprehensive, curriculum is offered at Nashville Grade Schools. Extensive computer and technology programming is available at both schools. Nashville is an attendance site for Kaskaskia Special Education District and offers individualized programming for most disorders. Band and chorus students traditionally receive first division ratings in their state music contests. A full complement of girls and boys athletic teams compete in the Junior Southwestern Egyptian Conference.
Students consistently score above average on state and nationally normed achievement tests.
Enrollment for the district averages about 650 per year. St. Ann's Catholic School and Trinity-St. John Lutheran School, both with kindergarten through eighth grade programming, also serve the greater Nashville community. Both schools typically have student-teacher ratios of about 15 to 1. Nashville High School maintains one of the finest facilities in southern Illinois.
