Summary

Midtown Elementary is a public elementary school in Harriman, Tennessee, serving 262 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Roane County School District, which is ranked 63 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Midtown Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 174 out of 985 Tennessee elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 556 out of 1009 in 2024-2025, the school faces unique challenges compared to its neighboring schools. Dyllis Springs Elementary and Midway Elementary, for example, have maintained higher rankings and ratings over the same period. Midtown Elementary also struggles with the performance of certain student subgroups, particularly male students and white students, who have consistently ranked in the bottom half of Tennessee elementary schools in recent years.

Additionally, Midtown Elementary has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.1% to 25.2% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's academic performance, as measured by TNReady assessments, is generally below the Roane County and Tennessee state averages across all subject areas and grade levels, with the exception of 5th-grade mathematics. Addressing these challenges, such as improving student attendance and supporting underperforming subgroups, could be crucial steps in helping Midtown Elementary provide a high-quality education for its students.
