Summary

Lewis County High School, in Hohenwald, TN, is a 4-year public high school serving 481 students in grades 9–12 that currently ranks in the 54th percentile of Tennessee high schools with a 3-star rating. It is the strongest option in Lewis County Schools, a district ranked 105th of 141 statewide. On every tested subject—Algebra I, Biology I, US History, English I, English II, and Geometry—the school outperforms the district average. The gap is clearest versus Volunteer State Virtual Academy High School, the district's other high school, where Lewis leads by 9 to 16 percentage points in every subject and posts a far better graduation rate (90.1% vs. 71.2%).

Biology is the school's standout subject. At 54% proficient, it exceeds the state average (49.8%) and is the highest among nearby traditional high schools, slightly surpassing Wayne County High School (53.2%). English scores are respectable—roughly in line with the state. Math is the clear weakness: Algebra I proficiency (22.4%) and Geometry (25.2%) both trail Tennessee averages by roughly 10 to 17 percentage points, and Algebra II has been a persistent struggle. Parents comparing schools in the region will see that Summertown High School, about 17 miles away, ranks higher overall and beats Lewis in math, US History, and English II, though Lewis holds its own in Biology and English I.

The most concerning red flag is chronic absenteeism. At 24.9%, it's well above the state average of 18.3% and higher than nearby Wayne County High School (8.2%), Summertown High School (18.7%), Perry County High School (20.4%), and Hickman County Senior High School (22.0%). Despite this, the school still graduates students at essentially the state rate. Special education outcomes have also collapsed, dropping from the 85th percentile in 2023–24 to the 2nd percentile recently, though this small subgroup can swing dramatically. On a positive note, low-income students have improved relative to their peers. The school spends less per student ($12,229) than nearby traditional schools, yet has shown it can rank as high as the 88th percentile (in 2020–21). Reducing absenteeism is likely the school's highest-leverage path forward.
