High Schools in Tipton County

Summary:

Tipton County, Tennessee is home to three high schools: Munford High School, Brighton High School, and Covington High School. Based on the available data, Munford High School stands out as the top-performing high school in the county, consistently ranking higher and outperforming the Tipton County and Tennessee averages on various academic measures.

Munford High School has a 4-star rating and ranks 60th out of 389 Tennessee high schools, while Brighton High School and Covington High School rank 237th and 234th, respectively. Additionally, Munford High School has higher proficiency rates across various subject areas and grade levels compared to the Tipton County and Tennessee averages.

While the three high schools in Tipton County have similar graduation rates and dropout rates, the chronic absenteeism rate of 18.9% across all three schools is an area of concern. Additionally, the significant variation in spending per student, from $9,705 at Munford High School to $12,227 at Covington High School, raises questions about the equitable distribution of resources within the district. The student-teacher ratios, ranging from 13.9 to 18.5, may also have implications for the quality of instruction and individual attention students receive.
