Summary:
The city of Erin, Tennessee is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, 2 high schools (one of which is a virtual academy), and 0 alternative schools. The schools in this district are generally underperforming compared to state averages, with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism rates, and poor statewide rankings.
Among the schools, Houston County High School stands out as the highest performing, ranking 227 out of 389 Tennessee high schools and receiving a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. It also has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89.2%. In contrast, Houston County Middle School has some of the stronger test scores in the district, particularly in science and social studies, but is still underperforming compared to state averages.
Across the Houston County school district, chronic absenteeism rates are extremely high, ranging from 18.9% to 18.9%, nearly double the state average. This is a major concern and likely contributes to the poor academic outcomes seen in the district's schools. With the district ranking 129 out of 139 in the state, and all schools receiving 0-2 stars from SchoolDigger, there may be equity issues in terms of resources and support for these schools.
