Summary

Antioch High School is a large, traditional public high school serving 2,212 students in grades 9–12 in the Antioch area of southeastern Nashville, and it is part of Metro Nashville Public Schools.

Antioch has shown a notable upward trajectory, moving from the 8th percentile statewide in 2022–2023 to the 29th percentile in 2025–2026 — a stronger improvement than nearby schools like Cane Ridge High School or Intrepid College Preparatory Charter School. However, it still faces significant challenges: its 79.7% graduation rate is the lowest among traditional nearby high schools, and its 18.9% dropout rate is nearly three times the state average. Chronic absenteeism affects 45.4% of students, double the district rate and the highest among all nearby traditional high schools. Academic proficiency remains below district and state averages in every subject, though scores have risen sharply — Biology I proficiency jumped from 8.9% to 33.5% in just two years.

One bright spot is special education: Antioch's special education students ranked in the 79th percentile in 2025–2026, up from the 1st percentile in 2021–2022. Nearby charter schools like LEAD Southeast School (95.2% graduation) and Valor Flagship Academy School (97.6% graduation) outperform Antioch by more than 15 points. Antioch also spends more per student ($15,541) than higher-performing suburban schools like Smyrna High School ($11,440) or Nolensville High School ($11,945), yet achieves lower outcomes. This suggests spending alone does not explain the gaps. Reducing chronic absenteeism and continuing to grow graduation rates remain the most critical levers for Antioch to turn its recent gains into lasting success.

Thursday, November 4, 2010

Open Quote Antioch is a great school its has come along way this is my second year at Antioch and this year is my sophomore year and its been great. There are almost no fights.Some teachers are just the best at what they do if I were to name a couple it would be A.Woodward(geography&leadership) she will comfort any student and go to extremes to get people to understand things. Another Would be Ms.Tyburskie(Algebra 1)
the way she explains math problems is like no teacher I've ever had before and lots of math teachers in the past have always told me there was no fun games for math, but this woman is incredible she made up a math game which probly took days to create and it was honestly so fun and educating I'm done bragging I just love my school.
WOOHOO!! ANTIOCH! BLUE&WHITE!!!
-very intelligent spirited student Close Quote
