Summary:

Collinwood High School is a public high school in Collinwood, Tennessee, serving 270 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Wayne County School District, which is ranked 120 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Collinwood High School faces significant challenges, including a student population that is overwhelmingly white (96.3%) compared to the state average, and consistently underperforming on standardized tests. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were significantly lower than the state and county in subjects like Biology I (16% vs. 45.3% state), English I (25% vs. 35.4% state), and Geometry (10.2% vs. 28.6% state). The school has a low statewide ranking, consistently placing in the bottom third of Tennessee high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Collinwood High School is part of the same school district as Wayne County High School, the latter school significantly outperforms Collinwood on academic measures and has a much higher statewide ranking. This suggests that the challenges faced by Collinwood High School are not necessarily shared by all schools in the district. Addressing the issues at Collinwood High School will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach involving the school, the district, and the broader community.

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.

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.
