Summary:
The city of McEwen, Tennessee is home to two schools - McEwen High School and McEwen Elementary, both of which serve students in the Humphreys County district. While the district as a whole is ranked lower, with a 2-star rating, McEwen High School stands out as a strong performer, consistently ranking among the top high schools in the state with a 4-star rating.
McEwen High School outperforms the district and state averages in many subject areas, including Biology I, US History, and English II. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 69.6% of McEwen High School students were proficient or better in Biology I, compared to 48% for the Humphreys County district and 40% for the state. However, the school lags behind the state in some areas, such as Mathematics and Science. Both McEwen High School and McEwen Elementary have a predominantly white student population, with over 90% of students identifying as white, and relatively low percentages of minority students.
The data also reveals that the Humphreys County district, which both schools belong to, is ranked 90 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, suggesting that the schools may have a higher percentage of students from low-income families compared to other districts in the state. Despite this, both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, which could be a contributing factor to their academic performance. Overall, the consistent high ranking and 4-star rating of McEwen High School is a notable achievement, and the district-level challenges may present opportunities for improvement in the future.
