Summary

Cornersville School is a combined grades 7–12 public school in Cornersville, TN, enrolling 394 students and serving as part of Marshall County Schools. The school's state ranking has been volatile, reaching the 79th percentile in 2020–2021 but slipping to the 45th percentile (218th of 400 schools, 2 stars) in 2025–2026. That places it below its district's overall percentile, ahead of Marshall County High School and Giles County High School, and behind nearby Richland School.

The school is strong at keeping students on track: its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 95.0%—above the district (90.4%) and state (90.5%)—and its dropout rate was just 1.7% versus 6.7% statewide. Middle-grade academics are also a bright spot, with 8th graders exceeding state averages in ELA, math, science, and social studies. However, high-school results reveal weaknesses in English and Algebra II: 26.7% proficient in English I, 39.3% in English II, and 25.9% in Algebra II, all well below state averages. Chronic absenteeism remains a concern at 21.9%, far above the district (15.3%) and state (18.3%), though it has improved from 29.4% two years earlier.

Compared to Marshall County High School, Cornersville posts a much higher graduation rate (95.0% vs. 89.0%), a lower dropout rate, and stronger proficiency in Algebra I and Biology I, but trails in Algebra II and English II. Against Richland School, despite Richland's higher overall ranking, Cornersville actually wins on overall math and ELA proficiency and graduation rate—yet Richland has far lower chronic absenteeism (10.6% vs. 21.9%) and better high-school English outcomes. Cornersville spends the most of any nearby school at $12,697 per student, but that investment has not yet translated into a consistently higher state ranking. Because Cornersville serves grades 7–12, its strong middle-school scores lift overall results; the high-school-only numbers are where the real gaps appear.
