Summary:
ZIP code 38372 contains exactly one public high school: Hardin County High School in Savannah, Tennessee. This sole high school serves grades 9 through 12 with an enrollment of 951 students and is part of Hardin County Schools. Because there is no other public high school in the ZIP code, families in this area have no direct school choice within the ZIP code itself, making this school's performance especially important to the local community.
Hardin County High School ranks in the upper third of Tennessee high schools, placing 129th out of 400 schools with a 3-star rating for 2025–2026. Its best recent year was 2024–2025, when it earned a 4-star rating and ranked 112th. The school's overall proficiency average was 41.7% in 2025–2026, just below the state's 42.8%. Strengths include Algebra II (44.4% proficient vs. 37.3% statewide), US History (44.1% vs. 42.4%), and 9th-grade Biology I (79.5% vs. 65.8%). However, English is a consistent weakness: English I proficiency is 32.6% vs. 37.3% statewide, and English II is 55.7% vs. 58.1%. The graduation rate of 87.2% also trails the state's 90.5%, while the dropout rate of 4.1% is better than the state's 6.7%.
One interesting finding is the gap between the school's 3-star rating and the district's 1-star rating; Hardin County Schools ranks 118th out of 141 districts, suggesting the high school is a relative bright spot in the district. Another striking discrepancy is in Biology I: 9th graders achieved 79.5% proficiency while 10th graders achieved only 27.6%, a 51.9-point gap. Math performance is also mixed, with strong advanced math but weaker foundational Algebra I. Overall, Hardin County High School is a solid mid-to-upper-tier school with clear strengths, but improving English proficiency and early math foundations would help it sustain 4-star performance.
