High Schools in Fayette County Public Schools

Fayette County Public Schools has only one high school, Fayette Ware Comprehensive High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of African American and Hispanic students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly below the state averages across all subjects and grade levels.

Fayette Ware Comprehensive High School has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Tennessee high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three school years. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school ranked 335 out of 374 Tennessee high schools. This persistent low ranking and rating indicate that the school is one of the lowest-performing high schools in the state, raising concerns about the quality of education provided to its diverse student population.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and student-teacher ratio, the low academic performance suggests that the resources may not be effectively utilized to support student learning. Further investigation is needed to understand the underlying factors contributing to the school's persistent challenges and to identify strategies to improve the educational outcomes for the students of Fayette County Public Schools.
