Summary

Stewart County High School is a public high school in Dover, TN, serving 583 students in grades 9–12. It is part of Stewart County Schools, a district that ranks 40th out of 141 Tennessee districts with a 4-star rating. The school itself holds a 3-star rating and ranks 173rd out of 400 Tennessee high schools, placing it in the 57th percentile.

Stewart County High School beats the state average in most end-of-course subjects, including English II (65.3% proficient vs. 58.1% statewide), Biology I (57.7% vs. 49.8%), and Algebra II (46.7% vs. 37.3%). However, Algebra I is a serious and persistent weakness: only 9.8% of students are proficient compared to 32.3% statewide, a gap that has remained wide for several years. Math results are also polarized by grade level — 10th graders taking Algebra II achieved an impressive 91.2% proficiency rate, while 11th graders in the same course reached just 19.6%. The school clearly outperforms nearby Houston County High School, ranking in the 57th percentile versus Houston's 32nd, with stronger results in nearly every tested subject.

Subgroup results show the school serves economically disadvantaged students well (62nd percentile) and Hispanic students very well (80th percentile), though special education outcomes remain a concern (38th percentile). Graduation rates have dipped from 98.9% in 2021-2022 to 90.2% in 2024-2025, just below the state average, while chronic absenteeism improved to 20.4% — still above the state rate of 18.3%. Interestingly, Houston County High School graduates a much higher share of its students (98.8%) despite far lower test scores, suggesting Stewart produces stronger academic results among its tested students but loses more before graduation. Stewart County also spends less per student ($11,448 vs. $13,526) while achieving stronger academic outcomes.
