Best Public Schools in Zip Code 37642

The 37642 zip code area in Tennessee is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, all part of the Hawkins County school district, which is ranked 114 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the district as a whole is underperforming, there is significant variation in the performance of individual schools. Church Hill Middle School has consistently ranked in the top 50% of Tennessee middle schools over the past 3 years, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and above-average test scores in science and social studies. Similarly, Carter's Valley Elementary has shown improvement, moving from the bottom 50% to the top 50% of Tennessee elementary schools over the past 3 years, with above-average test scores in mathematics and English language arts.

However, other schools in the area, such as Volunteer High School, have lower-than-average test scores in most subjects compared to the county and state. Additionally, all schools in the data set have a chronic absenteeism rate of 18.9%, which is significantly higher than the state average, suggesting this may be a contributing factor to the overall low performance of the district.
