Summary

Heritage Middle School is a public middle school located in Maryville, Tennessee, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 603 students. The school is part of the Blount County School District, which is ranked 59 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Overall, Heritage Middle School faces some challenges in student performance, particularly in Mathematics and English Language Arts, where proficiency rates are generally below the Blount County and Tennessee state averages. The school's performance is especially low in 8th-grade Mathematics, with only 30.2% of students proficient or better, compared to 34.4% in Blount County and 36.2% statewide. However, the school stands out for its strong performance in Algebra I, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the county and state averages.

Interestingly, Heritage Middle School's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. While Hispanic students at the school perform relatively well, with a 4-star rating and ranking in the top 25% of Tennessee middle schools for this subgroup, the school's performance for African American students is much lower, with a 1-star rating and a ranking in the bottom 20% of Tennessee middle schools. The school's performance for White students and students with special needs is also below average. Despite these challenges, the school's relatively strong support for economically disadvantaged students suggests potential areas of strength that could be leveraged to drive broader improvements.
