Fifteen Hamilton County schools ranked among the top performing public schools in the state for the 2023-24 academic year, according to data the Tennessee Department of Education released Friday.

The school district was also designated as performing at a satisfactory achievement level.

Across the state, 377 schools were recognized as reward schools, the top designation under Tennessee’s school accountability system.

Reward school recognition is based on performance indicators including student achievement, academic growth, chronic absenteeism, graduation rate and support for English learners. Schools receiving the designation show high levels of performance or improvement across indicators and student groups.
