Summary

Tennessee Connections Academy Johnson County 9-12 is a large virtual public high school in White House, TN, serving 1,543 students in grades 9–12 under Johnson County Schools, though it draws students from across the state rather than from a traditional neighborhood zone. The school earns 1 out of 5 stars, ranking 337th out of 400 Tennessee high schools (16th percentile), and its district ranks in the bottom 4th percentile statewide.

The most concerning metrics are graduation and dropout rates. Only 73.6% of students graduate within four years, compared to the 90.5% state average, while the dropout rate is 25.2%—nearly four times the state's 6.7%. Just two miles away, White House High School graduates 94.8% of students with a 1.6% dropout rate, and nearby Station Camp High School and Beech Senior High School post similarly strong outcomes. Academic proficiency is also strikingly low: just 7.5% of students are proficient in Algebra I and 6.4% in Algebra II, compared with roughly 32% and 37% statewide. The school spends about $5,894 per student—roughly half the per-pupil spending of nearby traditional high schools—and reports a very high student-to-teacher ratio of 34:1.

These outcomes have worsened in recent years. The graduation rate has fallen from 90% in 2021–2022 to 73.6% in 2024–2025, while the dropout rate has climbed from 5% to 25.2% over the same period. No student subgroup—including White, African American, Hispanic, low-income, or special education students—scores above the 15th percentile statewide. Families in this area have access to dramatically stronger public high school options, including Liberty Creek High School, White House High School, and Station Camp High School, all rated 5 stars. For most families, these nearby traditional schools offer far stronger academic and graduation outcomes than the virtual academy.

Open Quote 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
