Middle Schools in Greene County Schools

The four middle schools in Greene County Schools serve roughly 1,320 students across grades 5–8 in the Greeneville, Mosheim, and Afton areas of eastern Tennessee, and the district ranks 42nd out of 141 Tennessee districts with a 4-star rating. Chuckey Doak Middle School is the clear academic leader, ranking 66th of 594 schools statewide (89th percentile) and posting the highest proficiency rates in every tested subject—most notably a 72.8% mathematics proficiency that is more than double that of West Greene Middle School.

A wide performance gap separates the top and bottom schools. West Greene ranks 328th (45th percentile) with the lowest scores in all four subjects and the highest chronic absenteeism at 23.8%, well above the state average of 18.3%. The two highest-ranked schools—Chuckey Doak and North Greene Middle School—both have absenteeism below the state average, while the two lower-ranked schools, West Greene and South Greene Middle School, both exceed it. English Language Arts is the district's most pressing weakness: three of four schools fall below the state ELA average of 40.6%.

South Greene is the most improved, climbing from the 64th to 71st percentile over three years with significant proficiency gains in math, science, and social studies. North Greene spends the most per student ($19,532) and has the lowest absenteeism (15.8%) yet achieves only mid-pack results, while West Greene spends the least ($12,148). Chuckey Doak remains consistently excellent, having ranked in the 93rd percentile for two straight years before a slight dip to the 89th percentile in 2025–26.
