Summary:
Hardeman County Schools district in Tennessee has only one middle school, Bolivar Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school's academic performance has consistently been below average compared to other Tennessee middle schools, with low proficiency rates in state assessments and a high chronic absenteeism rate.
Bolivar Middle School's statewide ranking has been in the bottom half of all Tennessee middle schools, ranging from 511 out of 583 schools in 2024-2025 to 534 out of 587 schools in 2023-2024. The school is rated 0 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing below average compared to other schools in the state. The school's proficiency rates in TNReady assessments for Mathematics, English Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies are consistently lower than the Hardeman County Schools district and the state of Tennessee averages, particularly in 7th grade.
Despite the school's relatively low performance, it appears to have adequate funding and resources, as evidenced by the higher-than-average per-student spending and smaller class sizes. This suggests that the challenges faced by Bolivar Middle School may not be solely due to a lack of resources, but rather a need to address other factors, such as instructional practices, school climate, or student support systems.
