Hawkins County

Summary:

Hawkins County, Tennessee is home to 17 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 2 alternative schools. The schools in this area display a wide range of performance, with some standout institutions like Mt Carmel Elementary consistently ranking among the top in the state, while others, such as the two high schools, Volunteer High School and Cherokee High School, struggle to meet state averages.

The data reveals that Surgoinsville Middle School and Church Hill Middle School are also strong performers, with 3-star ratings from SchoolDigger and solid academic results. However, the district as a whole faces challenges, such as a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 18.9% across all schools, compared to the state average.

Spending per student varies widely, from $8,159 at Hawkins County Virtual Academy to $19,424 at Clinch School, with most schools spending around $13,000-$15,000 per student. This disparity in resources may contribute to the performance gaps observed between the top-performing and struggling schools in the Hawkins County district.
