Summary

Anderson County High School, located in Clinton, TN, serves 1,019 students in grades 9–12 as part of Anderson County Schools. The school's standout strengths are student engagement and completion: it graduates 96.3% of its students, the highest rate among nearby schools including Oak Ridge High School (95.5%) and Campbell County Comprehensive High School (94.7%), while its 2.0% dropout rate and 19.6% chronic absenteeism rate are the lowest in the area. These retention metrics suggest strong systems for keeping students on track, even as the school overall ranks at the 54th percentile (3 stars) among Tennessee high schools.

Academically, results are mixed. In Algebra I, Anderson students exceed the state average (34.8% vs. 32.3%) and more than double the proficiency of every Knox County school in its peer group. English II is essentially at the state average (57.6% vs. 58.1%). However, Geometry (35.3%), Algebra II (29.1%), and Biology I (48.1%) all lag statewide averages. Grade-level data show a striking pattern: 9th graders perform well above state averages in Algebra I (35.0%), Biology I (87.9%), and Geometry (93.1%), but upper-grade students fall well short, particularly in 10th-grade Biology (19.3%) and 11th-grade Algebra II (18.8%). Notably, Geometry proficiency is well below same-district peer Clinton High School (35.3% vs. 47.3%).

Subgroup data show notable contrasts. Hispanic students rank in the 95th percentile statewide (5 stars), and African American students also outperform the school's overall percentile. However, White students (41st percentile), low-income students (34th percentile), and especially special education students (3rd–7th percentile in recent years) score well below the school average. Anderson was historically a 4-star school, ranking in the 70th percentile in 2015–2016 and 2018–2019, but has since settled in the low-to-mid 50th percentile range; the current 54th percentile marks a modest rebound. Per-student spending is moderate at $12,557, below Clinton High School and Oak Ridge High School, making its strong graduation and attendance outcomes relatively efficient, even as academic proficiency remains the key area for improvement.
