Summary

Munford High School is a comprehensive public high school in Munford, Tennessee, near Memphis, serving 1,262 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Tipton County Schools district. The school has earned a 4-star state rating and ranks 81st out of 400 Tennessee high schools (80th percentile), making it the clear standout in its district and the top-performing traditional public high school in the immediate area. Within Tipton County, Munford far outpaces Brighton High School (40th percentile) and Covington High School (18th percentile), and it also outranks Bartlett High School even though Bartlett is in a higher-ranked district.

Munford's academics are a real strength, especially in mathematics. Its Algebra II proficiency rate of 68.1% is nearly double the state average of 37.3% and beats nearby 5-star schools like Arlington High School (57.3%) and Lakeland Preparatory School (54.1%). The school exceeds both district and state proficiency rates in five of six core subjects, including Biology, Geometry, and English II. The only subject where it falls slightly short is English I, trailing the state by just 1.4 percentage points after three consecutive years of exceeding it.

Munford is also exceptionally cost-effective. At $10,078 per student, it spends less than every nearby comparison school while outperforming schools with far larger budgets, such as Memphis Rise Academy, which spends about $15,446 per student yet ranks at only the 35th percentile. Chronic absenteeism stands at 13.7%, well below the state average of 18.3%, and the graduation rate has climbed to 93.6%. Munford serves military-connected families especially well—ranking 1st out of 16 schools statewide—and its low-income students also rank in the 90th percentile, a sign that the school supports students from many backgrounds effectively. The clearest opportunity for improvement is special education, where outcomes have declined in recent years. Overall, Munford offers strong academics, particularly in math, at a remarkable value.
