Warren County High School

Summary:

Warren County High School is a public high school located in Mc Minnville, Tennessee, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,862 students. The school is part of the Warren County School District, which is ranked 119 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Warren County High School has a diverse student population, with 70.57% White, 21.54% Hispanic, 2.15% African American, 0.86% Asian, and 4.67% two or more races. This racial diversity is higher compared to the nearby schools, such as Grundy County High School (97.57% White) and Cannon County High School (92.46% White). However, the school's test scores are generally lower than the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates in English I (28.3%), Algebra I (16.2%), and US History (17%) significantly below the state averages. Additionally, the school's student group rankings vary significantly, with the school ranking relatively well for African American students (57th out of 225 high schools in 2023-2024) but much lower for other subgroups, such as Special Education students (104th out of 155 high schools in 2023-2024) and White students (158th out of 309 high schools in 2023-2024).

Over the past several years, Warren County High School's statewide ranking has declined, from 178th out of 273 high schools in 2016-2017 to 173rd out of 374 high schools in 2023-2024, suggesting that the school's performance may be struggling compared to other high schools in Tennessee. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (around 70% in recent years) may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance, and addressing the needs of students from low-income backgrounds could be a key focus area for the school.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
