Summary

Trousdale County High School is a small public high school in Hartsville, Tennessee, serving 402 students in grades 8–12 within the Trousdale County Schools district, which ranks in the top 10% of Tennessee districts. The school itself has earned a 5-star rating in six of the last ten years, ranking 31st out of 400 high schools in 2025–2026 — the 92nd percentile statewide.

Trousdale's academic results are consistently above state averages. In 2025–2026, students exceeded Tennessee proficiency rates in all seven tested subjects, including standout results in Algebra II (58.8% vs. 37.3% statewide) and US History (61.7% vs. 42.4%). This performance places Trousdale well ahead of nearby schools: Westmoreland High School is the closest competitor at the 82nd percentile, while Lebanon High School (74th), Smith County High School (70th), and Gallatin Senior High School (59th) trail by a wide margin. These results are especially notable given that many neighboring schools are two to four times larger. Trousdale also achieves strong outcomes across student subgroups, with female students ranked 4th in Tennessee and low-income students scoring in the 91st percentile.

Students at Trousdale stay engaged: the dropout rate of 2.1% is well below the state's 6.7%, and chronic absenteeism of 14.6% is better than the state average and far better than nearby Gallatin (25.3%) and Lebanon (23.5%). Two concerns are worth monitoring. The graduation rate has dipped below the state average in two of the last three years, reaching 87.2% in 2024–2025 compared to 90.5% statewide. Special education results have also been inconsistent, though they recovered to the 63rd percentile in 2025–2026. With moderate per-student spending of $12,040, Trousdale delivers strong results at a reasonable cost.

Open Quote They try to hide stuff at this school, some of the staff is very racist, the principal has her picks and if you are not originally from Hartsville she will be on you all the time. Everyone is related so if you have a problem with one and report it to the board nothing is done. They cover up to make them look good Close Quote
