Summary:
With only one middle school located in Perry County, Linden Middle School serves as the sole representative for the area. This school has seen fluctuating performance over the past few years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 247th out of 587 Tennessee middle schools in 2023-2024 to 319th out of 594 in 2022-2023.
Linden Middle School's academic performance on TNReady assessments is mixed compared to state and county averages. While the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (34.8%), English Language Arts (34.8%), and Science (43.8%) were below the state averages, its 8th grade Mathematics proficiency rate (59.1%) was significantly higher than the state and county averages. This suggests the school may have particular strengths in certain subject areas that could be leveraged to improve overall performance.
Another area of concern for Linden Middle School is its chronic absenteeism rate, which stood at 18.9% for the 2023-2024 school year. This is a potential issue that may require further investigation and targeted interventions to address the underlying causes. With limited comparative data available, it is difficult to fully evaluate the school's performance and identify any standout schools in the region. Expanding the data set to include more middle schools in the area would provide a better context for assessing Linden Middle School's strengths and areas for improvement.
