Better than 15% of Tennessee high schools

Summary

Tennessee Connections Academy Johnson County 9-12 is a public virtual high school serving grades 9-12 in White House, Tennessee, with a total enrollment of 1,496 students. Unfortunately, this school has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Tennessee high schools over the past 3 school years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school significantly underperforms the state and its local Johnson County district on standardized test scores across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in Algebra I, the school's proficiency rate was just 6.3% in 2023-2024, compared to 9.7% for Johnson County and 27.5% for the state. The school's 4-year graduation rate has also ranged from 78.0% to 89.2% over the past 3 years, lower than the state average, and it has struggled with high dropout rates and chronic absenteeism. Nearby public high schools, such as Portland High School, Station Camp High School, and White House High School, significantly outperform Tennessee Connections Academy Johnson County 9-12 on these academic measures.

As a virtual school, Tennessee Connections Academy Johnson County 9-12 may face unique challenges in engaging students and supporting their academic and social-emotional development, which could contribute to its poor performance. Additionally, the school's relatively low per-student spending and high student-teacher ratio may be limiting its ability to provide the necessary resources and support for students. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive approach to improve the school's resources, instructional practices, and student support systems.

Parent of Three. My students are entering Connections Academy Johnson County after having gone to Tennessee Connection's Academy whose contract was unfortunately not renewed by Robinson County Schools. In contrast to what multiple websites say about Tennessee connection's Academy, my students scored higher on the state testing by a larger margin after attending Tennessee connections Academy without having to hammer a month of repetition mock state tests that the traditional schools are known for before the state testing. Our kids just knew the material. Our 2nd grader who was reading before kindergarten, endured the switching of 7 different teachers in her homeroom class at Christiana before February 2020 with different rules each time. I found her in the hall crying when the school said they lost her and then found her where she was suppose to go when the kast teacher from a week ago instructed her to be. They made it her fault. Then March covid 19 and defunct outdated 32 gb tablets with dead battery and loose power connections called laptops by the school and no plsn that worked. Ughh! After lack of communication from administration, teachers and staff in traditional schoolsd rather dropping the ball to push the kids through school like a Few County schools do (Ours) they were required to do credit recovery at Connections Academy so that they may have the credits for the classes that they were not passed in the brick and mortar schools. Now one of my students is on their way to college thanks to Tennessee Connections Academy. My now 4th grader IN THE 99 Percentile ranks 7th grade Math and 9th grade English. They are gifted Talented. 4th grader also has applied membership to MENSA. Connections Academy is more organized than and connected with parents than any in person school. My students will return to brick and mortar schools with proven study skills that work more prepared and organized than todays traditional schools fall short of doing. Parents and students are given the resources together to get what they put into it. Live one on one with the educators. I know what the students are being taught, and if any agendas are being pushed. $8000 - $10,000 per student of our tax money better spent here than at the past schools( money mills). Sounds to good to be true??? I'm overwhelmed with satisfaction from Connections. My only agenda is giving my kids a better education. BTW they have a social life and are free to go to either school now. I am copying and pasting my opinion for repost elsewhere. Thankyou Connections Academy Close Quote
