Summary

Moore County High School is a small combined junior/senior high school in Lynchburg, TN, serving about 400 students in grades 7 through 12 — one of the smallest high schools in the area, where schools like Shelbyville Central High School (1,604 students), Coffee County Central High School (1,262), and Lincoln County High School (1,171) are much larger. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated notably, from a 4-star rating (74th percentile) in 2024–2025 to a 2-star rating (46th percentile) in 2025–2026, volatility that is common for a school its size. Moore County Schools, the district, ranks 66th of 141 Tennessee districts with a 3-star rating.

Where it truly stands out is student engagement. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 9.9% is the lowest among nearby schools — far better than the 18.3% statewide average and well ahead of Shelbyville Central (25.4%) and Tullahoma High School (21.9%). The graduation rate is 95.9%, above the state average of 90.5% and higher than Coffee County Central (89.0%), Franklin County High School (88.6%), and Tullahoma (91.1%). The dropout rate of 1.4% is far below the state's 6.7% average. Academically, its strongest identity is science: 66.7% of students score proficient in Biology I, the highest among all nearby schools and well above the state's 49.8%, with strong middle school science results too. Middle school math and social studies also exceed state averages, and the school ranks very well for female students and for students from low-income families.

That said, the transition into high school is a real challenge. While 8th grade math proficiency is 60.6% (vs. 38.3% statewide), Algebra I proficiency drops to just 13.7%, and English I proficiency (25.3%) also lags the state average — though English II rebounds to 61.4%, suggesting students recover after the first year. Compared with Cascade High School, the strongest nearby academic peer, Moore County wins in Biology I but trails in math and English I. Still, parents who value a closely-knit school that keeps kids in school and on track to graduate will find Moore County's engagement numbers impressive, and its science and social studies programs are regional standouts.
