Summary:
The data provided focuses on a single middle school, Central Middle School, located in Wartburg, Tennessee, which is part of the Morgan County School District. With a total enrollment of 256 students, Central Middle School serves grades 6-8 and has a predominantly White student population (95.7%).
Despite being the only middle school in the data set, Central Middle School is facing several challenges. The school's ranking has been declining over the past few years, going from 402 out of 569 schools in 2021-2022 to 436 out of 580 schools in 2023-2024, and it is currently rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger. Academically, the school's performance on the TNReady assessments is consistently below the state and county averages across all subject areas and grade levels, with proficiency rates ranging from 11.1% in 7th grade English Language Arts to 54.4% in 6th grade Mathematics.
The data also reveals potential funding challenges, as the school's per-student spending of $10,488 for the 2020-2021 school year is not particularly high, and the Morgan County School District is ranked 131 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. Additionally, the lack of diversity in the student population, with very small percentages of racial/ethnic groups other than White, may be a concern for the school and the broader community.
