Summary

Lenoir City High School is a mid-size public high school in Lenoir City, Tennessee, serving 1,259 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Lenoir City Schools district. The school has earned a 4-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year, ranking 101st out of 400 high schools statewide (75th percentile), and it has consistently ranked in the 75th–80th percentile over the past several years. That stability sets it apart from some nearby schools — Oliver Springs High School, for example, fell from the 78th to the 68th percentile in a single year.

The graduation rate at Lenoir City High School is a clear bright spot. At 95.3%, it comfortably exceeds the state average of 90.5% and is close to Farragut High School (96.6%) and Oak Ridge High School (95.5%). Academically, the school's strongest subjects are English and science: proficiency rates for English I (44.4%), English II (65.1%), and Biology I (54.8%) all sit above state averages. The math picture is more complicated. While Algebra II proficiency is above the state (42.5% vs. 37.3%) and 10th-grade Algebra II students are performing exceptionally well, Algebra I proficiency is just 24.6% — below the state average of 32.3% and behind several nearby schools including Farragut High School, Oak Ridge High School, and Midway High School. U.S. History is also a weak spot at 39.4% proficiency.

The most visible concern is attendance. The chronic absenteeism rate at Lenoir City High School is 20.5%, above the state average of 18.3% and higher than nearby schools like Farragut High School (14.1%), Roane County High School (14.0%), and Loudon High School (15.0%). The school also appears to serve female students more effectively than male students, and performance for low-income and special education students has fluctuated in recent years. With per-student spending near the middle of the peer group, Lenoir City High School is not an overfunded school — but it delivers solid results in English, science, and graduation. Strengthening early math support and improving attendance are the two areas most likely to move the school toward the top tier.
