Summary

Sycamore Middle School in Pleasant View, TN, serves 672 students in grades 5–8 and is part of Cheatham County Schools. The school ranks 214th out of 594 Tennessee middle schools, placing it in the 64th percentile with a 3-star rating. While the district overall sits in the 46th percentile, Sycamore is clearly the strongest traditional middle school in its district, far outperforming Cheatham Middle School, which ranks in the 32nd percentile.

Academically, Sycamore’s strengths are math and social studies, with proficiency rates of 46.4% and 52.8%, respectively—at or above state averages. English language arts is the clear weak spot at 33.3%, trailing the state by more than 7 points. The 7th grade stands out as an unusually strong year, with 62.5% math proficiency, higher than nearby Rossview Middle School, Kirkwood Middle School, Richview Middle School, and Greenbrier Middle School. However, 8th grade scores drop sharply, particularly in social studies. Notably, Sycamore posts outstanding results for low-income and special education students, ranking in the 85th and 75th percentiles statewide—better than its overall ranking.

Chronic absenteeism improved dramatically, falling from 24.5% to 15.0% in one year, matching the district average and beating nearby Coopertown Middle School and Greenbrier. Sycamore also spends the least per student among comparison schools at $10,673, yet outperforms most of them, including Coopertown and Greenbrier from Robertson County Schools. While top-tier Clarksville schools like Rossview and Richview post higher overall scores, Sycamore’s math is competitive. With a focus on literacy and easing the 8th grade transition, Sycamore has a clear path to improving its already solid standing.
