Summary

Charlotte Middle School serves 433 students in grades 6–8 in Charlotte, TN, part of Dickson County Schools. The school currently ranks 194th of 594 Tennessee middle schools (67th percentile, 3 stars), a step back from last year's 4-star showing but consistent with its recent 3-star trajectory. Chronic absenteeism sits at 14.5% — well below the state average of 18.3% — and the school spends $11,929 per pupil with a student-teacher ratio of 14.6.

Math is the school's clear academic strength. With 45.8% of students proficient, Charlotte Middle School outpaces the district (44.6%) and state (43.0%) and outperforms most nearby schools, including Dickson Middle School (36.9%), W James Middle School (33.8%), Harpeth Middle School (34.5%), East Hickman Middle School (31.5%), and Cheatham Middle School (27.3%); only Burns Middle School (48.7%) scores higher. Seventh-grade math is particularly strong at 52.8% proficiency, and the school's Algebra I pathway shows an 82.6% proficiency rate. English Language Arts is the main challenge: 36.9% proficiency trails the district (43.8%) and state (40.6%), with the widest gap in 8th grade (28.6%). Science (47.0%) sits near the state average but below the district's 53.4%.

The school serves several student groups well. African American students ranked in the 88th percentile statewide, Hispanic students have been consistently strong, and students from low-income households perform above the median. The most pressing concern is a sharp decline in special education outcomes, which fell from the 77th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 23rd percentile in 2025–2026. Absenteeism has recovered well from its 31.8% pandemic peak. Notably, Charlotte Middle School achieves competitive math results while spending less than several comparable schools, including Fairview Middle School, W James Middle School, and Montgomery Central Middle School, suggesting strong efficiency in that subject area.
