Summary

Ocoee Middle School serves approximately 1,096 students in grades 6–8 in Cleveland, Tennessee, and is part of Bradley County Schools, where it stands out as the district's clear academic leader with a 4-star rating and a rank of 130th out of 594 Tennessee middle schools (78th percentile).

The school's strongest subjects are science (55% proficient versus 46.9% statewide) and social studies (58% versus 51.4%), while mathematics also sits comfortably above state averages — particularly 8th-grade math at 53.7% proficiency, a 15-point edge over Tennessee as a whole. Ocoee dramatically outperforms its same-district neighbor Lake Forest Middle School by roughly 44 percentile points, and far surpasses Cleveland Middle School in the city district. Its math scores are competitive with high-performing Hamilton County schools like Loftis Middle School and East Hamilton Middle School, though it trails those schools somewhat in English language arts and science.

Notably, Ocoee achieves this performance while spending just $11,269 per student — roughly $5,000 to $8,000 less than nearby schools like Soddy Daisy Middle School and Loftis. The main areas for improvement are English language arts (41.1% proficient, slightly below the district average), a rising chronic absenteeism rate (from 6.5% to 16.2% over four years), and support for special education students, who currently earn 2 stars. Encouragingly, Ocoee has improved steadily in every subject since 2022–2023, with social studies gaining nearly 10 percentage points, making it a strong and efficient choice for families in the Cleveland area.
