Summary:
Collierville Schools is a highly regarded Tennessee district serving the suburban Memphis area, and it operates a single traditional high school—Collierville High School—which enrolls roughly 2,946 students in grades 9–12. The Collierville Schools district is ranked #1 out of 141 districts in Tennessee, and its lone high school is genuinely exceptional on a statewide level.
Collierville High School earns a 5-star rating every year, and its state ranking has improved from #20 (95th percentile) in 2023–24 to #12 (97th percentile) in both 2024–25 and 2025–26. Graduation and dropout rates are strong: 94.4% of students graduate, compared to 90.5% statewide, and the dropout rate of 2.9% is less than half the state's 6.7%. Test proficiency is typically double or nearly double the state average—for example, Geometry proficiency is 74.8% versus 42.3% statewide, and English I is 72.0% versus 37.3%. The school also shows steady gains in most subjects from 2024–25 to 2025–26, including a 3.2-point increase in Algebra II and a 3.0-point increase in Geometry.
Two notable areas deserve attention. First, Chronic absenteeism sits at 13.6%—better than the state's 18.3% but higher than the district's 9.8%, suggesting high-school-specific patterns are worth monitoring. Second, grade-level test data reveal likely retake cohorts: 10th-grade Biology I proficiency is just 31.4% (below the state average) and 11th-grade English II is 18.8%, even though the school's all-grades scores in those subjects are 77.7% and 78.2%. Also, Algebra I proficiency at the high school (61.2%) trails the district (66.5%), which likely reflects strong middle-school students taking the exam and counting toward the district average. Overall, Collierville High School is a top-tier school with far-above-average outcomes, a few specific subpopulations needing support, and an excellent foundation for continued success.
