Summary

Peabody High School is a small public high school in Trenton, Tennessee, serving grades 9–12 with 319 students as part of the Trenton Special School District. The school is in the middle of a real turnaround: Peabody High School climbed from a 1-star rating and the 29th percentile of Tennessee high schools in 2018-19 to a 3-star rating and the 67th percentile (133rd out of 400 schools) in 2025-26.

Peabody’s most striking strengths are attendance and Algebra I. Just 5.3% of students are chronically absent, compared to the 18.3% state average and neighboring North Side High School’s 39.2%. The graduation rate is 96.6% and the dropout rate is 2.5%, both far better than state averages. In Algebra I, 50% of Peabody students are proficient, well above the state average of 32.3% — and 9th graders hit 53.4%, more than double the state’s 9th-grade average. Among nearby schools, only South Gibson County High School (a 5-star school) posts a higher Algebra I proficiency rate.

The weaknesses are just as clear. Peabody’s Geometry proficiency (32.6%) and Algebra II proficiency (25.0%) both trail state averages, meaning the early math advantage fades by upper-level courses. The school spends about $16,053 per student — more than most neighbors — though South Gibson achieves stronger overall results at roughly $10,600 per student. The next phase of Peabody’s improvement will depend on carrying Algebra I success into advanced math and building on recent gains: African American students’ effectiveness rank jumped from the 15th to 38th percentile in one year, but that subgroup and low-income students still trail the school’s overall performance.
