Grundy County High School consistently underperforms the state average in academic proficiency, with low proficiency rates in subjects like English I (23.1%), Algebra I (12.9%), and US History (34.5%), compared to state averages of 35.4%, 23.2%, and 39.5%, respectively. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, ranking highly for its special education and homeless student populations but struggling with its White and low socioeconomic status student groups. Overall, Grundy County High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Tennessee high schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger in the most recent school year.

Compared to nearby schools like Warren County High School and Whitwell High School, Grundy County High School underperforms in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels. However, the school stands out in its support for special education and homeless students, suggesting it may be effectively addressing the needs of these vulnerable populations. As the school faces declining enrollment, it may need to reevaluate its instructional practices and resource allocation to better support the learning and achievement of its predominantly White and low-income student body.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
