Summary

Coffee County Middle School in Manchester, TN, serves 783 students in grades 6 through 8 and is part of the Coffee County school district. The school is on a clear upward trajectory, climbing from the 37th percentile statewide in 2021-2022 to the 56th percentile in 2024-2025, earning a 3-star rating. This consistent improvement sets it apart from nearby schools like Harris Middle School (Bedford County), which has dropped to the 7th percentile, and West Middle School (Tullahoma), which has stagnated. Even Westwood Middle School (Manchester), just 4 miles away, saw a decline from the 65th to the 56th percentile over the same period.

One of the school's strongest assets is its low and improving chronic absenteeism rate of 11.6%, well below the state average of 18.3% and lower than all nearby schools except Westwood (8.1%). This suggests a positive school climate that keeps students engaged. Academically, 7th-grade Science is a standout, with 51.5% of students proficient—4 percentage points above the state average. The school also shows exceptional performance in Math (36.1% proficient) and Social Studies (49.1% proficient), outperforming Westwood in both subjects. However, it still trails top-tier schools like Cascade Middle School (Bedford County), which ranks in the 82nd percentile and leads in every subject, including 55.3% proficiency in Math.

Spending at Coffee County Middle School is $12,681 per student, which is moderate compared to the Tullahoma schools (East and West Middle, both at $14,328) but higher than struggling Harris Middle ($10,844). This suggests the school is getting a reasonable return on investment, achieving a 3-star rating with efficient spending. The primary challenge is to close the proficiency gap with Cascade, particularly in core subjects like Math and English Language Arts, where the school still trails state averages. Overall, Coffee County Middle School is a school in the midst of a successful turnaround, with strong momentum and a focus on improvement.
