Summary

Lawrence County High School is a large public high school in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, serving 1,087 students across grades 9–12. The school ranks 62nd among Tennessee's 400 high schools — an 84th-percentile, four-star performance that places it well ahead of nearby schools like Loretto High School (107th), Summertown High School (123rd), Richland School (136th), and Giles County High School (303rd). It is also the strongest performer in its district, Lawrence County Schools, which ranks 51st among 141 Tennessee districts.

Academically, the school beats both state and district averages in Algebra I, Biology I, English II, and Geometry. Notably, Algebra I proficiency (41.8%) is roughly double that of Giles County High School (9.9%), and Biology I proficiency (59.5%) is the highest among all nearby schools. The school also posted dramatic gains in Biology I, rising 20 percentage points in a single year. Perhaps most impressive are the results for high-need students: students from low-income families rank in the 95th percentile statewide, and special education students rank in the 94th percentile. By comparison, the school spends less per student ($10,484) than any nearby school — Loretto High School spends $13,272, Summertown High School $14,122, Richland School $11,994, and Giles County High School $11,759 — while achieving stronger outcomes.

The main concerns are graduation rates and attendance. The graduation rate fell from 96.4% in 2021–2022 to 76.2% in 2024–2025, well below the state average of 90.5%, though still above the district's striking 62.6% average. Chronic absenteeism has hovered near 20% for three years — higher than the district average and higher than Loretto High School (9.8%) and Richland School (10.6%). Because the dropout rate is actually lower than the state rate, some students may be finishing outside the traditional four-year window. Getting more students into classrooms consistently may be the school's biggest opportunity for improvement.
