Summary

Summertown Middle is a public middle school in Summertown, Tennessee, serving 201 students in grades 7-8 and part of the Lawrence County School District. The school has shown consistent improvement in its academic performance, particularly in Mathematics, where it outperforms the district and state averages. However, the school's performance in English Language Arts presents an opportunity for growth, with lower proficiency rates compared to nearby schools.

Summertown Middle's strengths include its strong performance in Mathematics, with 50.3% of students proficient or better, compared to 45.2% for Lawrence County and 42.2% for Tennessee. The school has also demonstrated consistent improvement in the performance of its student subgroups, such as Female, Male, and White students. Additionally, the school's spending per student of $10,198 is higher than the state average, which may contribute to its academic success.

Compared to nearby schools, Summertown Middle performs better than E.O. Coffman Middle School in most subject areas, but lags behind Lewis County Middle School, which has a higher statewide ranking and better academic performance. The school could potentially learn from the practices and strategies of higher-performing schools in the region to identify areas for improvement, particularly in English Language Arts.
