Summary

Located in the small town of Oneida, Tennessee, Oneida High School serves 363 students in grades 9–12 and is part of the Oneida Special School District. Although the district itself ranks in the 33rd percentile statewide, the high school ranks in the 58th percentile (3 stars), placing it well ahead of nearby Scott High School, which ranks in the 29th percentile.

Oneida's standout strength is its graduation rate of 98.0% for 2024–2025, far above the state average of 90.5% and Scott High's 86.5%. Its dropout rate is just 2.0%, compared to 6.7% statewide and 10.1% at Scott High. The school also outperforms Scott High in six of seven tested subjects—Biology I, English II, Geometry, Algebra I, Algebra II, and English I—often by wide margins. Chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically from 32.4% in 2022–2023 to 16.4% in 2024–2025, and Oneida spends $17,595 per student, well above Scott High's $13,018.

A few patterns stand out when looking deeper at the data. Tenth graders perform especially well, with 76.5% proficiency in Algebra II and 75.0% in English II, while 11th graders show some struggles in those same subjects. There is also a notable gender gap: female students rank in the 71st percentile statewide while male students rank in the 38th percentile. The school serves low-income students strongly in 2025–2026, ranking in the 84th percentile, though this has fluctuated in recent years. Overall, Oneida High School stands out as a bright spot relative to its district and neighboring schools, with strong completion outcomes, improving attendance, and a clear record of keeping students engaged through graduation.

My kids enjoyed the time at OHS. They felt cared about by their teachers and coaches and continued to have friendships with them beyond high school. They are both doing well in college and were well prepared. Close Quote
