Summary:
In zip code 37180, there is one high school, Community High School, serving grades 9–12 in Unionville, TN, with 545 students and part of Bedford County Schools. Because this is the only high school in the area, it serves as the sole option for local families, so its performance relative to district and state averages is especially important.
Community High School has a few clear bright spots. Its 10th-grade Algebra II proficiency rate is an impressive 86.7%, far above the district’s 77.2% and the state’s 63.9%. The school also posts a graduation rate of 91.4%, above the Tennessee average of 90.5%, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 16.5% is better than both the district and state averages. However, there are serious concerns. Only 14.9% of students are proficient in US History, compared to 32.5% in the district and 42.4% statewide — a dramatic 19.7-point drop from the previous year. Algebra I proficiency is also low at 13.4%, well below the state’s 32.3%. These weak spots likely contributed to the school’s state percentile rank falling from the 49th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 28th percentile in 2025–2026, even though some subjects improved.
Year-over-year trends are mixed. Biology I improved strongly from 20.6% to 31.5% proficient, and Geometry rose from 27.0% to 31.0%. But Algebra I, Algebra II, English I, and English II all declined, with Algebra II dropping 8.7 points and US History falling by nearly 20 points. The school’s per-student spending is $12,442, which provides context for its resources, though no student-teacher ratio or economic data is available. For parents, the main takeaway is that Community High School excels in accelerated math tracks and attendance, but needs targeted support in history and foundational math. The large ranking drop suggests that while some students perform well, overall outcomes lag peer schools, and families should look closely at subject-level results when considering this school.
