Summary:

David Crockett High School is a public high school located in Jonesborough, Tennessee, serving 1,181 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Washington County School District, which is ranked 26 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While David Crockett High School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (90.77%) compared to the state average and nearby schools, its academic performance, as measured by test scores, has been declining over the years. The school's proficiency rates in subjects like Biology I, US History, and English I are lower than the state and county averages. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has dropped from 71st out of 342 Tennessee high schools in 2018-2019 to 163rd out of 374 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 4 stars to 3 stars during this period. However, the school's special education students perform relatively well, ranking 47th out of 155 Tennessee high schools in 2023-2024 and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

When comparing David Crockett High School to nearby schools, it becomes evident that some schools, such as Daniel Boone High School and Science Hill High School, consistently outperform David Crockett High School in academic measures. Understanding the factors that contribute to the success of these higher-performing schools could inform strategies for improvement at David Crockett High School, which faces challenges in addressing its declining academic performance and racial disparities among its student population.

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.

Open Quote David Crockett High School is a great school. They have one of the highest graduation rates in Tennessee. The teachers are always there for the students and the principle always encourage students to do better and have school pride. They have so many extra curricular actives for every student. Weather you like sports, drama, F.I.S.H, etc. Out of the other school in the area it is by far the best, in my opinion. Say like Science Hill they are just jerks, and Daniel Boone students can't even read we they graduate. Just to name a few. But they defiantly show pride in their community and school- Pioneer Pride!

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.
