Summary

Chester County Middle School in Henderson, Tennessee, serves 424 students in grades 4 and 5 and has earned a 4-star state rating, placing it in the 84th percentile of Tennessee elementary and middle schools. It's part of Chester County Schools, ranked 16th of 141 districts statewide. The school far exceeds state averages in every subject—68.6% proficient in math vs. 43.0% statewide, 56.8% in English language arts vs. 40.6%, and 56.5% in science vs. 46.9%—all while spending $10,783 per student, the lowest among nearby schools, and keeping chronic absenteeism at 11.2%, well below the district's 17.8% and the state's 18.3%.

The school is especially effective with students from low-income families: economically disadvantaged students rank in the 95th percentile statewide with a 5-star rating, a remarkable equity outcome. Hispanic students have also improved sharply, rising from the 70th to the 90th percentile. Chronic absenteeism has dropped from 33.8% in 2021-2022 to 11.2% today, and math proficiency has climbed from 60.3% to 68.6% over the same period. Special education results have been the most inconsistent area, ranging from the 37th to the 75th percentile in recent years.

The contrast with nearby schools is striking. Chester County Middle School ranks in the 84th percentile statewide, while schools in Jackson-Madison County Schools like Lincoln Elementary School, Rose Hill School, Alexander Elementary School, and Isaac Lane Technology Magnet Elementary School all rank in the single digits, with chronic absenteeism between 29% and 48%. Even within Chester County, the school posts the highest math proficiency in the district, outscoring its K-3 feeders—East Chester Elementary School, W Chester Elementary School, and Jacks Creek Elementary School. For parents, this means a school that is not only high-performing but also cost-effective, and a key reason Chester County Schools ranks among Tennessee's best districts.
