Summary

Red Bank High School is a public high school in Chattanooga, Tennessee, serving 819 students in grades 9-12 and part of the Hamilton County School District. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently underperforming academic results, lower graduation rates, and higher chronic absenteeism compared to district and state averages.

In the 2024-2025 school year, only 11.6% of Red Bank High School students were proficient or better in Algebra I, far below the 31.8% rate for Hamilton County and 29.4% statewide. The school's four-year graduation rate was 89.2%, lower than the 92.2% rate for the district, and its dropout rate of 6.7% was higher than the 5.4% district average. Additionally, Red Bank High School has struggled to support the academic achievement of its diverse student population, ranking in the bottom quarter of Tennessee high schools for African American, Hispanic, and special education students on standardized tests.

The school's performance has declined over time, with its statewide ranking dropping from 60th out of 273 high schools in 2016-2017 to 276th out of 389 in 2024-2025. This suggests the school is facing significant challenges in improving student outcomes, despite spending more per student ($15,791 in 2023-2024) than the district average. Nearby schools like Chattanooga School for the Arts and Sciences Upper and Signal Mountain Middle/High School significantly outperform Red Bank High School on academic measures, indicating that factors beyond just funding, such as school culture, curriculum, and instructional practices, may be contributing to the disparities.
