Summary

Alvin C. York Agricultural Institute is a public high school located in Jamestown, Tennessee, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 477 students. The school is part of the Alvin C. York Agricultural Institute District, which is ranked 67 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Alvin C. York Agricultural Institute has shown mixed performance compared to the state average. While the school has performed better than the state in some subject areas, such as English II, it has struggled in others, like Algebra I and Geometry. The school's proficiency rates in these subjects have consistently lagged behind the state averages over the past few years. Additionally, the school has maintained relatively high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 86.5% to 96.6% in recent years, which is generally on par with or slightly above the state average. However, the school has experienced higher-than-average dropout rates and chronic absenteeism rates, which are concerning.

When compared to the nearby Clarkrange High School and Pickett County High School, Alvin C. York Agricultural Institute generally outperforms these schools in academic metrics, such as proficiency rates and graduation rates. However, all three schools struggle with higher-than-average chronic absenteeism and dropout rates. Additionally, the school's performance has been somewhat inconsistent over the years, with the school's statewide ranking and star rating fluctuating between 2 and 4 stars. The significant performance gaps between different student subgroups at the school, particularly for students with special needs and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, are also concerning and indicate the need for targeted interventions to address these inequities.
