Summary

Community Middle School serves 365 students in grades 6-8 in Unionville, Tennessee, as part of Bedford County Schools. The school has earned 2 stars in recent years, but its statewide rank has improved from the 42nd to 49th percentile. It sits in the middle of a varied educational landscape, performing better than Harris Middle School in the same district while trailing higher-performing middle schools in neighboring Rutherford County Schools and Williamson County Schools.

The school's most striking strength is its advanced math pathway. Algebra I proficiency reached 91.7% in 2023-2024, compared with just 17.9% for the district and 27.5% statewide. Eighth-grade math proficiency was 48.7%, well above district and state averages, and even surpassed Blackman Middle School (44.0%) and Christiana Middle School (46.2%). Special education outcomes are another standout: the school ranked in the 76th percentile statewide for special education students, earning a 4-star rating. Social Studies proficiency was also a bright spot at 44.5%, notably higher than the district's 38.7%.

However, English Language Arts and science trail state averages. ELA proficiency was 33.7% versus 40.6% statewide, and science was 37.6% versus 46.9% statewide. Chronic absenteeism has risen sharply to 22.5% in 2024-2025, above both district (17.9%) and state (18.3%) rates. Within Bedford County, the contrast among middle schools is stark: Harris Middle School ranks in the 11th percentile while Cascade Middle School ranks in the 82nd percentile, with Community sitting between them at the 49th percentile. With continued focus on attendance, literacy, and building on its math momentum, the school has a realistic path to stronger performance.
