Summary

Loretto High School is a mid-sized public high school in Loretto, Tennessee, serving 452 students in grades 9–12 as part of Lawrence County Schools. The school currently holds a 4-star rating, ranking 107th out of 400 Tennessee high schools (73rd percentile) — a solid improvement from its 3-star ranking in 2023–2024. While its statewide ranking has fluctuated somewhat over the years, Loretto has spent most of the past five years above the state median.

One of Loretto's standout strengths is attendance: only 9.8% of students were chronically absent in 2024–2025, well below the district average of 14.5% and the state average of 18.3%. Academically, English/language arts is a consistent bright spot — in 2024–2025, 69.2% of students scored proficient on English II, well above the state rate of 54.3%. The school also earned strong results for its economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 77th percentile in 2024–2025. Math and science are more uneven: Geometry proficiency (37.4%) trailed the state (42.3%) in 2025–2026, while Biology and Algebra II results came in above state averages.

Compared to nearby Lawrence County High School, Loretto is smaller, spends more per student ($13,272 vs. $10,484), and outperforms its larger district counterpart in English I and Algebra II. Loretto also surpasses Collinwood High School in most subject areas. One caution: the 2024–2025 graduation rate was reported at 15.8%, which is almost certainly a data error given Loretto's typical 85–98% rates in prior years. The dropout rate for that year also looks unusually high, so parents should treat those figures cautiously until verified.
