Summary

Red Boiling Springs School is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in the Macon County School District in Tennessee, with an enrollment of 351 students. According to the data, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Tennessee high schools over the past several years, with a current ranking of 312 out of 389 schools and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Red Boiling Springs School has faced significant challenges in academic performance, with proficiency rates that are significantly lower than the state and district averages in core subjects like Mathematics (28.5% vs. 42.2% and 41.2%) and English Language Arts (20.5% vs. 38.9% and 35.2%). The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 9.6% to 20.2% in recent years, which is much higher than the state and district. Additionally, while the school's four-year graduation rate was 89.2% in 2023-2024, its dropout rate has been relatively high, ranging from 6.7% to 13.8% over the past few years.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Clay County High School and Macon County High School, Red Boiling Springs School is underperforming in several key areas, including academic proficiency, graduation rates, and student-teacher ratios. The school's location in a district that is ranked 91 out of 139 in the state may be a contributing factor to its overall performance challenges, and targeted interventions and support could be crucial for improving student outcomes at Red Boiling Springs School.
