Summary

Fayetteville Middle School is a public middle school in Fayetteville, Tennessee, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 256 students. The school is part of the Fayetteville District, which is ranked 125 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Fayetteville Middle School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average in TNReady assessments across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were significantly lower than the state averages in Mathematics (25.6% vs. 42.2%), English Language Arts (18.5% vs. 38.9%), and Science (29.9% vs. 46.1%). The school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 152 out of 362 middle schools in 2016-2017 to 444 out of 583 in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 12.9% to 20.2% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

The school's per-student spending has fluctuated, ranging from $9,922 in 2020-2021 to $15,379 in 2022-2023, but it is unclear how these funds are being utilized to support student learning. The student-teacher ratio has also varied, from 13 students per teacher in 2022-2023 to 16.6 students per teacher in 2023-2024, which may impact the quality of instruction and individual attention students receive. These challenges suggest the need for comprehensive interventions and support to improve student outcomes at Fayetteville Middle School.
