Summary

Marshall County High School is a comprehensive public high school in Lewisburg, Tennessee, serving 808 students in grades 9–12 as part of Marshall County Schools. The school currently ranks 229th out of 400 Tennessee high schools, placing it in the 43rd percentile with a 2-star rating—a noticeable decline from its 2018–19 ranking of 132nd. It sits well below Forrest School, its counterpart in the same district, which ranks 69th with 4 stars, and also trails Spring Hill High School and Richland School. However, it outperforms Columbia Central High School and Community High School, placing it in the lower-middle tier of nearby high schools rather than at the bottom.

Academic proficiency data shows the school struggles most in Algebra I (16.7% proficiency versus 32.3% statewide) and English I (27.6% versus 37.3% statewide). By comparison, Forrest School posts 56.9% proficiency in English I—more than double Marshall County's rate. On a more positive note, the school beats Columbia Central in every subject, including Algebra I (16.7% vs. 7.5%) and Geometry (40.2% vs. 14.3%). One interesting pattern: students who take advanced courses early perform exceptionally well, with 9th graders taking Geometry posting 89.3% proficiency and 10th graders taking Algebra II posting 88.9%—while students taking these same courses later in high school struggle significantly.

The most urgent concern is special education outcomes, where the school ranks in the bottom 10th percentile statewide with a 0-star rating. Low-income students also perform below average, ranking in the 40th percentile. On the positive side, chronic absenteeism has improved from 21.7% to 17.0%, and the dropout rate has fallen to 4.8%, better than the state average. However, the graduation rate has slipped to 89.0%. The school spends $10,267 per student, the lowest among nearby comparison schools, which parents may want to consider when evaluating resource availability.

This school is more of a fashion show , popularity contest , & drug slinging . News crews from Nashville have been here several times doing stories on sexual misconduct involving faculty . They see a channel 2 , 4 , or 5 van parking , they go on lock down ! Close Quote
