Middle Schools in Overton County

Summary:

Overton County, Tennessee has only one middle school, Livingston Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has declined slightly in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 216th out of 594 Tennessee middle schools in 2022-2023 to 280th out of 583 in 2024-2025.

Livingston Middle School's proficiency rates on TNReady assessments are generally below the Overton County and Tennessee state averages across subjects and grade levels. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were 33.9% in Mathematics, 27.2% in English Language Arts, 46.3% in Science, and 37.3% in Social Studies, compared to the Overton County averages of 41.1%, 36%, 47.5%, and 47.3%, respectively. Additionally, the school had a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 18.9% in 2023-2024, which likely contributes to its lower academic performance.

While Livingston Middle School's per-student spending of $11,508 and student-teacher ratio of 15.1 in 2023-2024 are within reasonable ranges, the school's declining performance and high chronic absenteeism rate suggest that the district and school may need to implement targeted interventions to improve student outcomes and address attendance issues.
