Summary:
Zip code 37091 is home to a single high school, Marshall County High School, which serves grades 9 through 12 in Lewisburg, Tennessee, with an enrollment of 808 students. The school operates within Marshall County Schools, a district ranked 60th out of 141 districts in Tennessee with a 3-star rating. By comparison, the high school itself currently holds a 2-star rating and sits in the 43rd percentile statewide, having declined from the 50th percentile just two years ago.
Marshall County High School graduates 89.0% of its students, a rate slightly below both the district (90.4%) and state (90.5%) averages, while its dropout rate of 4.8% is better than the state average of 6.7%. Chronic absenteeism stands at 17.0%, also below the state average of 18.3%. Academically, the school trails the state in six of seven TNReady subjects, with Algebra I proficiency at just 16.7% versus 32.3% statewide and English I at 27.6% versus 37.3%. However, there are bright spots: the school matches the state average in Algebra II (37.4%) and posted strong year-over-year gains in Biology I (+10.6 points) and Algebra II (+8.5 points).
The most interesting pattern is the school's strength with advanced math students. Tenth-grade Algebra II proficiency is an exceptional 88.9%, and 9th-grade Geometry proficiency reaches 89.3%, both at or above state averages. Yet 9th-grade Algebra I proficiency is just 17.5%, and 9th-grade Biology is dramatically below the state average, suggesting a challenging transition into high school. English Language Arts is a consistent concern across both English I and English II. Despite recent academic improvements, the school's statewide ranking slipped from 197th to 229th, indicating that other Tennessee schools are improving at a faster pace.
