Summary:
The Carter County school district in Tennessee is home to 5 high schools serving grades 9-12: Happy Valley High School, Hampton High School, Unaka High School, Cloudland High School, and Siam Learning Center. Based on the available data, Cloudland High School stands out as the top-performing school in the Carter County district.
Cloudland High School has consistently ranked higher than the other schools, with a statewide ranking between 113-163 out of 384-392 Tennessee high schools over the past 3 school years. It is also the only school in the data set to be rated 3 or 4 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing better than the other schools. In contrast, Happy Valley, Hampton, and Unaka High Schools generally scored below the Carter County and Tennessee averages on standardized assessments.
While the graduation rates and dropout rates are relatively consistent across the 4 high schools, the data reveals some district-wide challenges. Chronic absenteeism rates are high, around 19%, across all schools. Additionally, there is a wide range in student-teacher ratios, from 12.5 to 24.4, which could be a factor impacting academic performance. The variation in per-student spending, from $11,037 to $14,078, does not appear to directly correlate with academic outcomes. Further investigation into the specific practices and policies at Cloudland High School could provide insights to help improve results at the other schools in the Carter County district.
