Each year, the Tennessee releases the state report card, which looks at each individual school
system and the overall academic progress. In 2012, Cookeville High School’s composite ACT
scores ranked at 21.3, while the state’s were a lesser 19.2. The attendance rate at CHS was a
pleasing 96.5%, while out graduation rate was 93.9%, with an increase of almost ten percent
from the previous year.
When interviewed, Mr. Ward said, “We administrators at CHS were so excited by the
information we received; our attendance rate and graduation rate were both incredibly high. Our
school is becoming aware and finding those students who are falling behind. CHS is something
to be proud of and we hope to maintain and improve our school. We can do a better job truly
being college and career ready.”
