Summary
Crockett County High School is a public high school in Alamo, Tennessee, serving 879 students in grades 9–12 within the Crockett County Schools district. The school's standout strengths are its graduation and attendance outcomes: a 97.7% graduation rate (about seven points above the state average), a 2.3% dropout rate, and a chronic absenteeism rate of just 8.2% compared to the state average of 18.3%. These numbers are stronger than most nearby schools, including Gibson County High School, North Side High School, Haywood High School, Halls High School, and Humboldt Junior/Senior High School, several of which have absenteeism rates above 30%.
Academically, Crockett is a solid mid-tier performer with one clear bright spot and one notable weakness. Biology is a genuine strength: 53.7% of students scored proficient, above the state average, and ninth-grade biology results were especially strong at 88.2% proficiency. English scores are near the state average. However, advanced mathematics trails meaningfully, with Algebra II proficiency at 24.2% versus the state's 37.3%, and Algebra I and Geometry also slightly below state averages. That math gap is the school's clearest area for improvement.
Crockett also serves several student groups well. Female students rank in the 78th percentile statewide, special education students jumped from the 44th to the 81st percentile in a single year, and Hispanic students have earned 4-star ratings in recent rankings. Male students rank closer to the middle, pointing to a consistent gender gap. Perhaps most notably, Crockett achieves these results while spending just $9,928 per student—less than every nearby comparison school, including South Gibson County High School, Peabody High School, and Haywood High School, which spend between roughly $10,600 and $16,400 per student. For families, Crockett offers a high-graduation, high-attendance school that delivers solid results relative to its resources.
