Summary:

The Henderson County school district in Tennessee consists of 9 schools, including 7 elementary schools and 2 high schools, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The district is ranked 36 out of 139 districts in the state and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Scotts Hill High School stands out as a top performer, ranking 45th out of 389 high schools in Tennessee and earning a 4-star rating. The school excels in Algebra II, Biology I, and English II, outpacing county and state averages. At the elementary level, Bargerton Elementary and South Side Elementary demonstrate the highest proficiency rates across multiple subjects and grade levels.

While there is significant variation in test scores across the district, some schools, such as Lexington High School, consistently perform well. The data also suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as instructional practices and school leadership, may play a crucial role in student outcomes, as there is no clear correlation between per-student spending and academic performance. Addressing the district's high chronic absenteeism rates, which range from 18.9% to 18.9%, may be an area of focus for improving student success.
