Summary:

Karns High School is a public high school in Knoxville, Tennessee, serving 1,394 students in grades 9-12. As part of the Knox County school district, which is ranked 72 out of 139 districts in the state, Karns High School faces some academic challenges compared to nearby high-performing schools.

While Karns High School has a higher percentage of White students (68.94%) than the state and county averages, it has lower percentages of African American (9.68%) and Asian (1.15%) students. Academically, the school's test scores are generally lower than the Knox County and Tennessee averages, with only 50.2% of 10th-grade students proficient or better in Biology I, compared to 55.3% in the county and 36.5% statewide. Karns High School's rankings for different student subgroups also vary, with the school performing better for male students and African American students, but lower for Hispanic students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Despite these challenges, Karns High School's special education program is a bright spot, ranking 32nd out of 154 Tennessee high schools in 2022-2023 and receiving a 4-star rating. However, the school's overall statewide ranking has been declining, from 164th out of 342 Tennessee high schools in 2018-2019 to 174th out of 374 in 2023-2024. This suggests a need for improvement, especially when compared to nearby high-performing schools like Farragut High School and Hardin Valley Academy. By addressing the unique needs of its diverse student population and implementing strategies to boost academic performance, Karns High School can work to enhance the educational experiences and outcomes for all its students.

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.
