Marshall County

The schools in Marshall County, Tennessee, serve students from elementary through high school, with a total of 10 schools in the district, including 4 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 3 high schools. The data provides a comprehensive overview of the academic performance, student demographics, and other key metrics for these schools.

Forrest School, a high school, stands out as a top performer, ranking among the top 20% of Tennessee high schools with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's strong test scores, particularly in mathematics, where students outperform the county and state averages, are a testament to the quality of education it provides. Another high-performing high school is Cornersville School, which has seen steady improvement in its SchoolDigger rating over the past few years, now ranking in the top 50% of Tennessee high schools.

While the data highlights the strengths of these standout schools, it also reveals some areas of concern across the district. One notable finding is the consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.9% to 18.9% across all schools, which warrants further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student attendance. Additionally, the variation in spending per student, from $10,037 at Forrest School to $14,067 at Oak Grove Elementary, suggests potential differences in resource allocation that could impact student outcomes.
