Best High Schools in Tennessee for Male Students

Check out our new feature available only on SchoolDigger: rankings for different groups of students in Tennessee!

Every year, the Tennessee Department of Education shares test results for various student groups in each school. We use these results to find out which schools do best for each group and list them from the best to the worst.

Additionally, we also compare the performance of the subgroup to the performance of the school as a whole. This makes it easy to see if, for example, Male students are overperforming or underperforming their peers in each school.

Year after year, SchoolDigger is always the first to publish Tennessee test scores and rankings. Other sites use stale test score data that are several years old! Be in the know with the very latest performance metrics.

The list is updated annually upon the release of the TNReady test scores by the Tennessee Department of Education. The most recent update was on Monday, June 24, 2024.

NOTE: 2024 rankings for Tennessee schools were revised on October 14^th after the TN Department of Education's recent release of the 2024 End-of-Course math scores.
