High Schools in Hawkins County

The two high schools located in Hawkins County, Tennessee, Volunteer High School and Cherokee High School, are performing similarly in terms of their overall rankings and ratings, both ranked in the middle of the pack for Tennessee high schools.

Both schools have a 89.2% four-year graduation rate and a 6.7% dropout rate, indicating they are addressing these metrics in a consistent manner. While the schools generally underperform the state averages on standardized tests, they have some areas of strength, such as Algebra II and English II proficiency at Volunteer High School, and Algebra II and Biology I proficiency at Cherokee High School. However, the high chronic absenteeism rate of 18.9% at both schools is a concern and may be contributing to the lower test scores.

The schools also have slightly different spending per student and student-teacher ratios, with Cherokee High School spending $12,326 per student and having a 14.1:1 student-teacher ratio, compared to Volunteer High School's $11,984 per student and 13:1 student-teacher ratio. These differences may be a factor in the schools' varying performance on certain metrics, but more analysis would be needed to determine the relationship between these factors and student outcomes.
