Summary

Hardin County Middle School is a public middle school in Savannah, Tennessee, serving 648 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Hardin County School District, which is ranked 102 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Hardin County Middle School's performance on TNReady tests is generally below the state average across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (30%), English Language Arts (29.8%), and Social Studies (39.4%) were all lower than the state averages (42.2%, 38.9%, and 49%, respectively). Compared to the nearby Selmer Middle School, which is part of the McNairy County School District, Hardin County Middle School's performance is also generally lower across most subject areas and grade levels.

The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students and Special Education students performing relatively better compared to other subgroups. However, the school has experienced a concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 13.9% in the 2022-2023 school year to 18.9% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly higher than the state's average. While the school's per-student spending has increased over the years, the relatively high student-teacher ratio suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and utilization to better support student learning and achievement.
