Summary

Alcoa High School is a public high school in Alcoa, Tennessee, serving 687 students in grades 9–12 as part of the highly rated Alcoa City Schools district, which ranks in the 91st percentile among Tennessee districts. The school's standout feature is its exceptional student retention: with a 97.8% graduation rate—nearly 8 points above the state average—and a dropout rate of just 1.1%, Alcoa clearly excels at keeping students on track to earn a diploma, outperforming nearby schools like South Doyle High School (9.7% dropout rate) and West High School (5.3% dropout rate).

Academically, Alcoa delivers above-average results in most subjects. On the 2025–2026 TNReady assessments, students outpaced the state in Algebra I (45.3% proficient vs. 32.3%), Geometry (56.8% vs. 42.3%), English I (47.1% vs. 37.3%), and English II (67.1% vs. 58.1%). This puts Alcoa ahead of several regional comprehensive high schools, including West and South Doyle, though it trails the area's academic leaders: L N STEM Academy and Farragut High School. One note of caution: Alcoa's state ranking slipped to 95th in 2025–2026, down from 49th the previous year, with 10th-grade Biology and Algebra II scores coming in well below state averages. The school also sits just 2.8 miles from Maryville High School, which ranks higher overall, though Alcoa's graduation rate actually exceeds Maryville's 92.5%.

Alcoa spends generously on its students—$14,878 per pupil in 2024–2025, among the highest in the area and more than L N STEM and Farragut, which achieve higher test scores with less funding. Chronic absenteeism (13.1%) is well below the state average of 18.3%. The most significant area for improvement is special education: a 2022–2023 rating placed Alcoa in just the 20th percentile for this subgroup, a stark contrast to its overall 4–5 star record. For parents, Alcoa offers a supportive environment with strong graduation outcomes and solid academics, though those seeking the region's highest test scores might also consider nearby L N STEM or Farragut.
