Summary:
Clarkrange, Tennessee is home to a single public school, Clarkrange High School, which serves grades 9 through 12 and enrolls 231 students within the Fentress County Schools district.
As the only school in the city, Clarkrange High School stands out for its strong graduation rate of 98.4% in 2024-2025, roughly 8 percentage points above the state average of 90.5%. The school also earned a solid state ranking of 116th out of 400 Tennessee high schools (71st percentile, 4 stars) for 2025-2026. This is notable because its district, Fentress County Schools, ranks just 110th out of 141 districts (22nd percentile, 1 star), suggesting the high school is a bright spot within a district that faces challenges elsewhere. Chronic absenteeism sits at 17.7%, slightly better than both the district (19.1%) and state (18.3%) averages, and the dropout rate of 3.1% in 2023-2024 is well below the state's more recent rate of 6.7%.
Test performance at Clarkrange High School shows clear strengths and weaknesses. The school consistently outperforms the state in Algebra II and English II; in 2025-2026, 46.9% of students were proficient in Algebra II versus 37.3% statewide, and 61.8% were proficient in English II versus 58.1% statewide. However, proficiency lags in Geometry (33.9% vs. 42.3%) and Biology I (36.1% vs. 49.8%). There is also significant year-to-year volatility, likely tied to the small student body. Algebra I proficiency jumped from 10.9% to 29.6% between school years, while Biology I dropped from 58.5% to 36.1%. Per-student spending is $15,979, and free/reduced lunch data is not reported.
