Summary

Cumberland County High School (CCHS) serves approximately 949 students in grades 9–12 in Crossville, Tennessee, and is one of two comprehensive public high schools in the Cumberland County Schools district. The school earned a 4-star rating and ranked 120th out of 400 Tennessee high schools (70th percentile) in 2025–2026, placing it ahead of Monterey High School (48th percentile) and Rockwood High School (27th percentile), while sitting just behind its cross-town counterpart, Stone Memorial High School (71st percentile).

Parents will be glad to know that CCHS graduates 93.1% of its students, above the state average of 90.5%, with a dropout rate of just 5.0%. The school shows clear strengths in English I (39.7% proficient) and introductory Algebra I (33.3% proficient), both above state averages and the best among nearby schools. However, advanced math and some upper-level science courses are more challenging: Geometry proficiency (35.1%) trails the state (42.3%), and 11th-grade Biology I proficiency (27.3%) is well below the state rate (42.5%). Notably, CCHS outperforms Stone Memorial High School in Algebra I and English but lags behind Stone in Algebra II (32.3% vs. 48.3%) and Geometry (35.1% vs. 44.4%).

CCHS has shown steady improvement over the past four years: Algebra I proficiency rose from 21.2% to 33.3%, the graduation rate climbed from 86.9% to 93.1%, and chronic absenteeism dropped from 25.2% to 18.9%. That said, absenteeism remains above the district rate of 15.2% and is a meaningful area for continued focus. The school also faces an equity challenge with special education outcomes, which have ranked in the bottom half of Tennessee schools in recent years, even as low-income students have performed well. Overall, CCHS offers a solid, improving educational experience for most students, with particular strengths in English and early math coursework.
