Summary:
Zip code 37803 in Maryville, Tennessee, is home to one high school: Maryville High School, serving 1,231 students in grades 10–12 as part of the Maryville City Schools district, which ranks 9th out of 141 districts in Tennessee with a 5-star rating. Maryville High School is itself a top performer, ranking 27th out of 400 high schools statewide in 2025–2026—the 93rd percentile with a 5-star rating—and it has remained in the top 35 schools in Tennessee for three consecutive years.
The school exceeds district and state averages on key non-test measures. Its graduation rate of 92.5% tops the district's 91.6% and the state's 90.5%, while its 4.2% dropout rate is well below the state average of 6.7%. Chronic absenteeism is a standout strength: the most recent reported rate is just 6.1%, far lower than the state's 18.3%. Per-student spending of $12,587 also signals strong financial support for student success.
Test scores reveal a more complex picture. Maryville excels in grade-appropriate subjects: English II proficiency is 83.8%, Algebra II is 72.4%, and US History is 73.0%, each far exceeding state averages. Yet English I (10.0%), Algebra I (9.5%), and Biology I (25.4%) proficiency appears strikingly low. This is an artifact of the school's 10–12 structure: since 9th graders are not enrolled, students taking these exams are typically upperclassmen retaking failed courses. Grade-level data confirms on-grade students perform well above state averages. Geometry is the only true relative weakness at 48.3% versus the district's 67.8%, dragged down by a 12th-grade credit-recovery group.
