Summary

Daniel Boone High School in Gray, TN, is a comprehensive public high school serving approximately 1,145 students in grades 9–12 as part of Washington County Schools, a district ranked 30th out of 141 in Tennessee. The school holds a 3-star rating at the 69th percentile statewide — a stable position over the past four years. Its standout strengths are completion metrics: the 2024-25 graduation rate hit 97.2%, well above the state's 90.5%, and the dropout rate has collapsed from 5.6% in 2021-22 to just 1.7%. Within its own district, Daniel Boone is clearly the stronger school, leading David Crockett High School in graduation rate, dropout rate, and nearly every subject test.

Academically, US History is Daniel Boone's signature subject, with 55.6% proficiency — well above the state's 42.4% and topped locally only by Science Hill High School. English II also performs well at 65.9% proficiency, above the state average of 58.1%. The clear weakness is early math: Algebra I proficiency sits at just 23%, about nine points below both district and state averages, and Geometry (35.9%) also trails. Interestingly, Algebra II proficiency (41.7%) exceeds the state average, indicating the school does an excellent job with accelerated cohorts but struggles to support students who take math courses later in their high school careers.

Chronic absenteeism is the school's most pressing challenge. At 25.3%, it is well above the district (17.3%) and state (18.3%) averages, though middling among nearby schools — better than Dobyns-Bennett High School, Elizabethton High School, and West Ridge High School, but notably worse than Science Hill, North Greene High School, and Happy Valley High School. With a 97.2% graduation rate, students who stay engaged do finish, but missing school appears to suppress math and science proficiency. In the regional landscape, Daniel Boone ranks in the upper middle: ahead of North Greene, West Ridge, Happy Valley, David Crockett, and Volunteer High School, while trailing Unicoi County High School, Dobyns-Bennett, Elizabethton, and Science Hill. Per-pupil spending has also risen about 41% since 2021-22 to $12,817, and the student-teacher ratio improved to 13.5.
