Summary

Soddy Daisy Middle School is a Hamilton County Schools public middle school in Soddy Daisy, Tennessee, serving 450 students in grades 6–8. The school ranks 184th out of 594 Tennessee middle schools for the 2025–2026 school year, placing it at the 69th percentile with a 3-star rating—a stronger position than the overall district, which sits at the 43rd percentile. Its rank has stayed stable and above average over the past decade, hovering between the 67th and 77th percentiles since 2017 and representing a clear improvement from its 46th percentile standing in 2014–2015.

The school's biggest academic strengths are science, social studies, and accelerated math. In science, 52.2% of students are proficient, beating both the district (46.6%) and the state (46.9%). In social studies, 59.5% of students are proficient, compared to 51.4% across the district and state—a consistent strength in every grade level. Students taking Algebra I in middle school perform far above expectations, with proficiency rates of 51.5% in the most recent year versus roughly 29% to 32% at the district and state level. Among nearby Hamilton County middle schools, only Hunter Middle School (86th percentile) and Loftis Middle School (88th percentile) rank higher overall. Soddy Daisy outperforms Ooltewah Middle School, Red Bank Middle School, Brown Middle School, Hixson Middle School, Dalewood Middle School, and Orchard Knob Middle School.

The main area for growth is English language arts, where 36% of students are proficient, below the district (38.3%) and state (40.6%). Chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically, dropping from 28.8% two years ago to 18.5%—now matching the state average and lower than many nearby schools. The school also achieves strong results efficiently, spending $17,679 per student, less than lower-performing peers like Dalewood ($23,825) and Orchard Knob ($24,512). Special education students have shown sharp gains, moving from the 31st to the 64th percentile in two years. The greatest areas to watch are recent declines among female students and low-income students, which help explain why the overall rank has plateaued despite the school's many strengths.
