About Collegedale Academy

Collegedale Academy serves 355 students in grades 9-12 as a regular public high school in Collegedale, Tennessee. With 30 full-time equivalent teachers, the school maintains an impressive student-teacher ratio of 11.8:1, allowing for more individualized attention and smaller class sizes than many larger high schools. The school has earned strong recognition for its academic performance, receiving a MySchoolScout rating of 9.1 out of 10.

This high ranking suggests the school consistently provides quality educational opportunities for its students. Located at 4855 College Drive East, the school benefits from its position in Hamilton County's educational landscape.

What Parents Should Know
