Summary

Henry County High School is a large public high school in Paris, Tennessee, serving 1,017 students in grades 9 through 12 as part of the Henry County Schools district. The school has been on a steady upward climb, rising from 186th place among Tennessee high schools five years ago to 76th today — placing it in the top 25% statewide with a 4-star rating. It also graduates students at an impressive 96.6% rate, well above the state average of 90.5%, with a dropout rate of just 1.5%.

Academically, Henry County High School shows notable strengths in math and English. In Algebra II, 47.9% of students scored proficient compared with 37.3% statewide, and 10th graders posted an exceptional 90.5% proficiency rate. English II results also edge out the state average. However, Biology I remains a consistent weak spot, with proficiency rates trailing both the state and district averages. Compared with nearby schools, McKenzie High School outperforms Henry County overall with a 5-star rating, while Camden Central High School and Central High School (Bruceton) both rank in the bottom half of Tennessee high schools — meaning Henry County is a strong option among most local choices, especially given it serves roughly three times as many students as McKenzie.

The school's biggest concern is chronic absenteeism, which has climbed from 12.2% to 19.9% over four years and now sits above the state average. Special education outcomes also need attention, with the school ranking in the 23rd percentile for that subgroup. On a more positive note, Henry County has shown meaningful progress for several student groups, including a significant two-year improvement for African American students and strong results for Hispanic, low-income, and female students. Per-student spending has risen to $11,903, and with five straight years of statewide ranking gains, the school's overall trajectory suggests continued improvement is on the horizon.
