Pigeon Forge High School has a student body of over 700 members. With a slightly higher percentage of male students (54% to the females’ 46%), the student body is overwhelmingly Caucasian (85%) with small populations of Native-American (3%), Hispanic (9%), African-American (1%), Asian(1%), and other ethnic groups (1%). English as a Second Language (ESL) classes have become a focus of some administrative attention in recent times in order to meet the needs of those students (9%) whose primary language is Spanish. Roughly 40% of students participate in the free and reduced-price lunch program. Overall attendance remains quite good, with only 5% of the student body absent on a daily basis. Transfer rates are relatively high, possibly due to the very nature of Pigeon Forge’s economy, which is predominantly seasonal.
