Summary

Collinwood High School is a small, rural high school in Collinwood, Tennessee, serving 223 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Wayne County Schools district. The school currently ranks in the 32nd percentile of Tennessee high schools (2 stars), a modest improvement from the 23rd percentile it earned in 2023-2024. This places the school in the lower-middle tier of Tennessee high schools, though history shows it has reached higher performance levels in past years.

Collinwood's most significant strength is its graduation rate, which reached 96.2% in 2024-2025 — above the state average of 90.5% and slightly ahead of Wayne County High School (94.4%). This reflects a dramatic turnaround from just 79.7% two years earlier. English proficiency is another bright spot: English II scores (60.8% proficient) exceed the state average (58.1%), and English I scores match the state at 37.3%, surpassing the district average (32.4%). Chronic absenteeism has also fallen sharply, from 29.7% in 2022-2023 to 14.0% in 2024-2025, now below the state average (18.3%) though still higher than Wayne County High School's 8.2%.

Despite these strengths, math and science proficiency remain significant challenges. Fewer than one in six Collinwood students is proficient in Algebra I (15.1%), Algebra II (12.2%), or Geometry (15.1%), and Biology proficiency (26.5%) is roughly half the state average (49.8%). The nearby Wayne County High School — just 8.65 miles away and in the same district — dramatically outperforms Collinwood in these subjects, making it an obvious benchmark for improvement. Loretto High School, the highest-ranked school in the area (73rd percentile), also posts much stronger STEM scores, though its reported graduation rate of 15.8% is a notable outlier. Within the school, female students perform near the state median while male students and students receiving special education services (bottom 5% statewide) lag significantly behind, pointing to a need for targeted support. The school's overall upward momentum, however, suggests meaningful progress is underway, even as STEM instruction remains the clearest area for growth.
