Summary

Scotts Hill High School is a small rural high school in Reagan, TN, serving 480 students in grades 9–12 and part of Henderson County Schools. The school earns a strong 4-star rating, ranking 57th out of 400 Tennessee high schools, and stands out most for its remarkable graduation rate and exceptional support for students from low-income backgrounds.

Academically, Scotts Hill has a distinctive profile: math and science are clear strengths, with students significantly outpacing state proficiency rates in Algebra I, Algebra II, Biology, and Geometry. It outperforms nearby Riverside High School by double digits in several of these subjects and beats all local schools in Algebra I and Geometry. However, English is a notable weak spot. English I proficiency sits at just 31.9%, well below the state average, and English II scores trail both Lexington High School and Chester County High School. Even so, the school graduates an impressive 97.2% of its students—far above the state rate and every nearby high school—suggesting strong support systems keep students on track despite the ELA challenges.

What truly sets Scotts Hill apart is its work with economically disadvantaged students, who rank in the 96th percentile statewide—an elite performance level. The school also spends more per student ($12,163) than most local peers, and state rating has rebounded from a recent slump back to a 4-star level. Chronic absenteeism (16%) is lower than the state average but higher than the district's, and special education outcomes remain a significant concern. Closing the English proficiency gap is the clearest opportunity for Scotts Hill to reach consistent 5-star status, building on its already strong STEM foundation and standout graduation rate.

Open Quote This school was an absolute joke. I graduated from there 7 years ago and I was so glad to get out of there. Teachers played favorites, students would get picked on even though there was a auppised "zero tolerance policy" YEAH RIGHT. Oh and the Ayers office is a scam. Promising to help pay for you to go to college ONLY IF you 1. Chose to a college in Tennessee 2. Had nothing lower of a 3.5 GPA and 3. It had to only be public colleges, so the Art Institute was out of the question. Needless to say I didn't get to go to college. Close Quote
