Summary

Loretto High School is a public high school serving 486 students in grades 9-12 in Loretto, Tennessee, which is part of the Lawrence County School District. The school has demonstrated strong academic performance, particularly in Biology I and English II, where it outperformed the district and state averages. Loretto High School also maintains a high graduation rate of 89.2%, on par with the district average.

However, the school's performance has fluctuated over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 91 to 194 out of 300-400 high schools in Tennessee. This may be partly due to the school's relatively high rates of chronic absenteeism, which have ranged from 13.6% to 20.2% in recent years. Compared to the nearby Lawrence County High School, Loretto High School has generally lower test scores, particularly in math subjects. But it outperforms the more distant Collinwood High School in most academic areas.

Despite these challenges, Loretto High School spends between $10,354 and $11,757 per student, which is higher than the state average but lower than the nearby Lawrence County High School. The school also has a slightly lower student-teacher ratio than the nearby schools, suggesting it may have adequate resources to support student learning. Overall, Loretto High School has demonstrated strengths in certain academic areas and among specific student subgroups, but may benefit from further analysis and targeted interventions to address areas of weakness and maintain consistent academic achievement.
