Summary

Richland School in Lynnville, TN, is a mid-sized school serving grades 6 through 12 with 633 students in the Giles County Schools district. Despite being in a district that ranks in the bottom half of Tennessee, Richland stands out as a strong performer, ranking in the 66th percentile statewide and earning a 3-star rating for 2025–26 — a clear bright spot compared with Giles County High School, which sits in just the 24th percentile.

Parents will be impressed by several standout academic areas. Richland students post exceptional results in Algebra II, with 50% proficiency compared with 27.5% across the Giles County district and just 16.8% at Giles County High School. Science and Social Studies are also well above state averages, and 9th-grade Biology I proficiency hits 81.8%. The school also shines in student engagement: a chronic absenteeism rate of only 10.6% is the lowest among all nearby schools (compared with 19.7% at Lawrence County High School and 23.4% at Giles County High School), and the dropout rate of 2.3% is well below the state average of 6.7%. While Lawrence County High School ranks higher overall, Richland beats it on attendance, graduation rate, and dropout rate.

The main areas to watch are 8th-grade performance — math proficiency drops to 24.4% vs. 38.3% statewide — and a graduation rate that dipped to 88.6% in 2024–25 after several years above 95%. Subgroup trends also deserve monitoring, particularly a recent sharp decline in performance for economically disadvantaged students. Overall, Richland offers a positive trajectory, strong attendance, and standout upper-level math and science programs, making it a compelling choice for families in the area.
