Summary

Morristown West High is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Morristown, Tennessee, with a total enrollment of 1,499 students. The school is part of the Hamblen County School District, which is ranked 69 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Morristown West High has seen fluctuations in its four-year graduation rate, ranging from 84.9% to 92.6%, and a dropout rate that has varied from 5.2% to 8.9%, the school faces significant challenges in academic performance, particularly in core subject areas and for its English Language Learner (ELL) and Hispanic student populations. The school's proficiency rates in Algebra I (17.1%), Algebra II (36.3%), and US History (23.9%) are significantly lower than the Hamblen County and Tennessee state averages. Additionally, Morristown West High ranks 45th out of 50 Tennessee high schools in ELL student proficiency.

Compared to nearby schools, Cherokee High, West Greene High, and Cocke County High generally have lower test scores and performance metrics than Morristown West High. However, Jefferson County High, located about 14 miles away, stands out as the highest-performing school in the region, with significantly better test scores, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism. While Morristown West High's per-student spending has increased over the years, the academic outcomes indicate a need for more targeted interventions and support to improve student learning and achievement.
