Summary:

Tipton County, Tennessee is home to three middle schools: Munford Middle School, Brighton Middle School, and Crestview Middle School. Based on the available data, Munford Middle School stands out as the top performer, ranking in the top 16% of Tennessee middle schools and consistently maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Crestview Middle School has a 1-star rating and lags behind the other two schools in academic performance.

The data also reveals differences in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios between the schools, which may be a factor in the performance disparities. Crestview Middle School had the highest per-student spending at $10,933 in 2023-2024, compared to $9,486 for Munford Middle School and $9,515 for Brighton Middle School. Addressing these gaps and ensuring equitable access and outcomes for all students should be a key priority for the Tipton County school district.
