Summary:
Zip code 37388 in Tullahoma, Tennessee is served by two high schools—Tullahoma High School (grades 9–12, 1,072 students) and Tullahoma Virtual Academy (grades 6–12, 71 students)—both part of the Tullahoma City Schools district.
Tullahoma High School is the larger, more established option and the stronger of the two. It has improved its statewide rank from the 39th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 49th percentile in 2025–2026, and its 91.1% graduation rate is above the state average. The school also posts a low 3.9% dropout rate and shows relative strength in Biology and US History. The biggest concern is math: only 14.6% of students are proficient in Algebra I, less than half the state rate, and Geometry and Algebra II also trail. Chronic absenteeism (21.9%) is higher than both the district and state averages, which may be holding the school back from even better results.
Tullahoma Virtual Academy is a very different story. With just 71 students, its data can shift dramatically from year to year. It shines in English II, where 71.4% of students are proficient—well above the state average—and its chronic absenteeism of 11.3% is the best among local schools. However, math is a major weakness: only 6.7% are proficient in Geometry and 10% in Algebra II, far below state averages. Science and social studies are also low. Overall, Tullahoma High School is the safer bet for most families, offering a fuller academic program and better all-around outcomes. The district itself ranks in the bottom quarter of Tennessee, but both schools are showing upward momentum, and the shared $14,328 per-student spending figure means differences come down to how each school uses its resources.
