Summary

South Greene High School is a public high school in Greeneville, TN, serving 495 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Greene County Schools district. The school currently ranks 104th out of 400 Tennessee high schools, placing it in the 74th percentile with a 4-star rating, and its most recent graduation rate was 95.5%, well above the state average of 89.2%. This represents a strong rebound from the previous year, when the school ranked 182nd, though it has not yet returned to the 80th-percentile level it achieved in the late 2010s.

The most distinctive academic pattern at South Greene is the gap between English and STEM subjects. In English I, 53.1% of students scored proficient, compared to 37.3% statewide, and in English II, 69.6% scored proficient versus 58.1% statewide. Those results trail only Chuckey Doak High School among nearby schools and exceed Greeneville High School. However, in Algebra I, Biology, and Geometry, South Greene falls below both the district and state averages. Among nearby schools, Chuckey Doak High School and Greeneville High School both outpace South Greene in math and science. Overall, South Greene is the second-highest-ranked high school in Greene County Schools, behind Chuckey Doak High School but ahead of North Greene High School, West Greene High School, and Cocke County High School.

Several positive trends are worth noting. Special education students jumped from the 14th percentile statewide to the 66th percentile in a single year, and low-income students improved to the 64th percentile. Attendance is also manageable, with a 16.4% chronic absenteeism rate that is below the state average of 18.3%. The school spends $12,576 per student, more than its peers in Greene County Schools though less than Greeneville High School. One concern is a decline among male students, whose statewide percentile dropped from 80th to 44th over two years. South Greene's year-to-year rankings have been volatile, likely due to its relatively small enrollment, but the latest data suggests a school with clear strengths in literacy and meaningful recent gains for underserved student groups.
