Church Hill Middle School generally performs better than the district and state averages on academic measures, particularly in Science and Social Studies. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 45.8% in Science and 52.5% in Social Studies, compared to 41.7% and 43.9% for Hawkins County, and 46.1% and 49% for Tennessee, respectively. The school also performs relatively well for its Hispanic and Special Education student subgroups, ranking in the top half of Tennessee middle schools. However, the school's performance for its African American and White student subgroups lags behind, ranking in the bottom half of Tennessee middle schools.

Compared to nearby middle schools in other districts, Church Hill Middle School's performance is mixed. It outperforms some schools, such as North Greene Middle School (Greene County), but lags behind others, such as Sullivan Central Middle School (Sullivan County), particularly in Mathematics and English Language Arts. The school's high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.9% to 23.9% over the past few years, are a significant concern and may be impacting its overall academic performance.
