Summary

Oliver Springs High School is a small public high school in Oliver Springs, Tennessee, serving 278 students in grades 9–12 as part of Roane County Schools. The school currently holds a 3-star rating and ranks 130th out of 400 Tennessee high schools, placing it in the 68th percentile statewide — a dramatic improvement from a decade ago, when it sat in the bottom third with a 1-star rating. Parents should be encouraged by the school's strong retention numbers: the dropout rate was just 1.8% in 2023–24, compared to 6.7% statewide, and the graduation rate reached 91.2% that same year.

Academically, Oliver Springs has clear pockets of strength. In 2025–26, the school exceeded state proficiency rates in Algebra II (50% vs. 37.3% statewide), U.S. History (58.8% vs. 42.4%), and English II (63.3% vs. 58.1%), with especially impressive 10th-grade Algebra II results at 93.3% proficiency. However, foundational math remains a challenge: Algebra I proficiency was just 21.3% and Geometry 26.0%, both well below state averages. Because the school is small, results can swing significantly from year to year — Geometry jumped from 45.1% to 67.1% and then back to 26.0% over three years — so parents should focus on multi-year trends rather than any single year.

Compared with nearby schools, Oliver Springs compares favorably to Harriman High School, beating it in nearly every subject, and holds its own against larger Roane County High School in advanced math and history. Students from low-socioeconomic-status backgrounds rank in the 68th percentile statewide, matching the school's overall performance — a strong sign of effectiveness. The biggest red flag is chronic absenteeism, which has hovered between 21% and 26% in recent years, well above state averages. Families may also want to compare Oak Ridge High School, though Oliver Springs' low dropout rate and long-term upward trajectory make it a solid middle-tier option worth serious consideration.
