Summary

Morristown West High School is a large public high school in Morristown, Tennessee, serving 1,458 students in grades 9–12 as part of Hamblen County Schools, and it currently ranks 152nd out of 400 Tennessee high schools with a 3-star rating in the 62nd percentile. The school sits solidly in the upper half of the state and is the second-highest ranked high school within roughly 18 miles, trailing only Jefferson County High School (89th, 4 stars). It clearly outperforms its crosstown rival Morristown East High School, which ranks 208th with a 2-star rating and trails West in nearly every subject and metric.

Academically, Morristown West's most striking strength is Algebra II, where 50.6% of students scored proficient compared to 37.3% statewide — a figure that beats every nearby high school, including Jefferson County (39.7%) and Morristown East (25.8%). The school also meets or exceeds state averages in English I, English II, Biology I, and Geometry. However, Algebra I remains a persistent weakness: just 24.6% of students are proficient versus 32.3% statewide, a gap that has held for several years. This contrast suggests the school does well with advanced math students but may need stronger support for 9th graders taking foundational Algebra I.

Attendance is the school's biggest concern. In 2024–2025, 21.8% of students were chronically absent, well above the district rate of 14.9% and the state rate of 18.3%. On a positive note, the graduation rate of 91.2% is above both the state (90.5%) and district (89.2%) averages, and the dropout rate matches the state exactly at 6.7%. The school spends roughly $11,353 per student, moderate compared with nearby schools. Morristown West also ranks in the top quartile statewide for supporting low-income students, though English Learner outcomes are a significant area for improvement.
