Summary:
The Houston County school district in Tennessee consists of 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with some notable performance gaps compared to state averages.
Among the standout schools in the district, Tennessee Ridge Elementary stands out with the highest overall performance on state assessments, outpacing the district and state averages in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science. Meanwhile, Houston County High School has the highest statewide ranking among the schools in the data set, ranking 239 out of 374 Tennessee high schools in 2023-2024, and also outperforms the district and state on Biology I and US History assessments.
However, the Houston County school district as a whole appears to be struggling, with all schools ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types statewide. This suggests systemic challenges that need to be addressed, potentially including equity concerns due to the lack of racial diversity in the student populations and the overall low performance of the schools compared to state averages.
