LEAD Public Schools is a Nashville-born Charter Management Organization that operated both "fresh-start" charter schools (LEAD Academy, LEAD Southeast Middle and LEAD Southeast High) and zoned turnaround charter schools (LEAD Brick Church, LEAD Cameron and LEAD Neely's Bend). Celebrating its 10th Anniversary during the 2017-2018 school year, LEAD's mission is prepare all students with the knowledge and skills to succeed in college and in life. The first four graduating classes from LEAD Academy High School have all earned 100 percent acceptance to college -- the hallmark of a LEAD education in Nashville.
