Summary

South Greene High School is a public high school in Greeneville, Tennessee, serving 488 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Greene County School District.

While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, dropping from 46th in 2017-2018 to 182nd in 2024-2025, its academic performance is mixed. South Greene High School performs better in English assessments compared to the county and state averages, but struggles in subjects like Algebra and Biology. The school also has a higher chronic absenteeism rate than the state average, which can negatively impact student learning. Additionally, there are significant performance gaps between different student subgroups, such as gender, race, and socioeconomic status, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to ensure equitable educational opportunities.

Compared to nearby schools in the Greene County district, such as North Greene High School and Chuckey Doak High School, South Greene High School generally underperforms on standardized assessments, particularly in math and science. However, the district-wide challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, suggest that a comprehensive approach may be needed to address these issues across the region.
