Summary

Hardin County High School is a public high school located in Savannah, Tennessee, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 986 students. The school is part of the Hardin County School District, which is ranked 102 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hardin County High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from a high of 66th out of 358 Tennessee high schools in 2021-2022 (4-star rating) to a low of 262nd out of 273 in 2016-2017 (0-star rating). Its current ranking for 2024-2025 is 112th out of 389 schools, with a 4-star rating. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with male students generally performing better than female students. Hardin County High School also struggles with the performance of African American and special education students, ranking in the bottom half of Tennessee high schools for these subgroups. The school's test scores are generally below the state average across various subjects and grade levels, and it has seen fluctuations in its four-year graduation rate and dropout rate.

Interestingly, McNairy Central High School and Adamsville High School, two other high schools in the McNairy County School District, have similar performance characteristics, with lower statewide rankings and test scores compared to the state averages. Hardin County High School has also seen an increase in its per-student spending, from $9,362 in 2020-2021 to $11,594 in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average, but it is unclear if this increased spending has translated into improved student outcomes.
