Summary

Obion County Central High School is a public high school in Troy, Tennessee, serving 688 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Obion County School District. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with strengths in some subjects like Algebra II and Biology I, but lagging behind in others like Algebra I and Geometry. However, the school's English Language Arts (ELA) performance is relatively stronger, with students scoring above the state and county averages in English I and English II.

Obion County Central High School's four-year graduation rate of 87-89% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 6-8% is higher than the state average, indicating a need for improvement in student retention. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 14-20% is higher than the state average, which could be an area of concern. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with female students and African American students performing better than their male and Hispanic counterparts, respectively. The school's performance for low socioeconomic status students and special education students is also a concern, as they rank in the bottom third and bottom 20% of Tennessee high schools, respectively.

Compared to nearby schools, Obion County Central High School's performance is generally on par with or slightly below the nearby schools in the Obion County and surrounding districts, such as South Fulton Middle / High School, Lake County High School, Dyer County High School, and Westview High School. However, Union City High School, located just 8 miles away, consistently outperforms Obion County Central High School in academic test scores, graduation rates, and other key metrics.
