Summary

Lewis County High School is a public high school located in Hohenwald, Tennessee, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 471. The school is part of the Lewis County School District, which is ranked 106 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lewis County High School has seen fluctuating academic performance on state assessments, with its ranking among Tennessee high schools ranging from 43rd to 259th in recent years. While the school performs relatively well in English II, with a 59.3% proficiency rate compared to the state average of 54.3%, it struggles in other subject areas, particularly Algebra II and Geometry, where proficiency rates are significantly below the state averages. The school's graduation rate has also varied, ranging from 73.1% to 89.2%, and its dropout rate has ranged from 3.3% to 10.2%. Additionally, Lewis County High School has a higher chronic absenteeism rate than the state average, which is a concern.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Hickman County Senior High School, Summertown High School, and Wayne County High School, Lewis County High School generally underperforms on state assessments and has lower graduation rates. However, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with African American and Special Education students performing better than the overall school population. This suggests that the school may be effectively supporting the academic needs of these subgroups, while potentially struggling to address the needs of other subgroups.
