Summary

Hendersonville High School is a large public high school in Hendersonville, TN, serving 1,410 students in grades 9–12 as part of Sumner County Schools. The school is a consistent standout, ranking #36 out of 400 Tennessee high schools (91st percentile) for the 2025–2026 school year and earning a 5-star rating in eight of the past ten years. On state tests, Hendersonville exceeds the Tennessee average in every subject and usually outperforms its district average, with the largest margins in Algebra I, Geometry, and English II. Its 93.5% graduation rate tops the state average of 90.5%, and its 1.9% dropout rate is well below the state's 6.7%.

The clearest area of concern is chronic absenteeism. At 16.1% in 2024–2025, Hendersonville's rate is above the district average of 12.2% and higher than every comparable Sumner County high school, including Station Camp High School (10.9%) and Beech Senior High School (13.4%). Within its own district, Hendersonville trails Station Camp (#10) and Liberty Creek High School (#14), but it runs neck-and-neck with Beech (#30) and Mt. Juliet High School (#33). The contrast with nearby Metro Nashville schools is dramatic: McGavock High School and Maplewood High School are just miles away but rank in the bottom 10–25% statewide, with far lower graduation rates and much higher dropout rates, despite spending thousands more per student.

Hendersonville also deserves credit for efficiency and equity. It spends $11,806 per student, similar to Beech and below Station Camp, yet achieves top-10% outcomes. The school serves all student groups well: low-income and special education students posted strong percentile rankings in recent years, and Hispanic students improved from the 56th to the 83rd percentile over two years. The main challenges ahead are addressing chronic absenteeism, improving US History and Biology results, and sustaining recent gains for low-income and special education students. Overall, Hendersonville is a stable, high-performing school that delivers strong results for its students and community.
