Summary

Whites Creek High is a public high school located in Whites Creek, Tennessee, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 616 students. The school is part of the Davidson County school district, which is ranked 122 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Whites Creek High has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Tennessee high schools over the past decade, with its statewide ranking ranging from 276 out of 285 schools in 2012-2013 to 349 out of 389 schools in the most recent 2024-2025 school year. The school has received a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period, indicating poor overall performance. Academically, Whites Creek High significantly underperforms the state and county averages on standardized test scores across all subject areas and grade levels, particularly in mathematics and English Language Arts. The school's graduation rate is lower than the state and county averages, and its dropout rate is significantly higher.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as The Academy at Old Cockrill, East Nashville Magnet High School, and Pearl-Cohn High, which are also part of the Davidson County district, generally perform better than Whites Creek High on academic metrics, graduation rates, and attendance. This suggests that the challenges faced by Whites Creek High may be specific to the school rather than the district as a whole.
