Summary

Winfree Bryant Middle School serves 589 students in grades 6–8 in Lebanon, TN, within the Lebanon Special School District, and has earned a 3-star state rating that places it at the 61st percentile of Tennessee middle schools. The school has been on a clear upward trajectory, climbing from the 47th percentile in 2021–2022 to its current ranking. Math proficiency has grown from 29.3% to 34.5% over the past three years, while English language arts proficiency has risen from 28.9% to 37.5% — encouraging momentum for families considering this school.

Social studies is a clear strength, with 55.3% of students proficient, above both the district (55.1%) and state (51.4%). Science is competitive at 47.8%. However, math (34.5%) and ELA (37.5%) trail the district averages of 44.9% and 42.4%. One pattern worth noting: proficiency declines as students advance — math drops from 43% in 6th grade to 26.1% in 8th grade, and ELA falls from 42.2% to 33.3%. That said, 8th graders enrolled in Algebra I post an impressive 87.5% proficiency rate, indicating a strong advanced math track.

Compared with Walter J. Baird Middle School, just 2 miles away in the same district, Winfree Bryant spends about $1,500 more per student ($12,230 vs. $10,952) yet trails Baird in math (40.5% vs. 34.5%) and ELA (39.3% vs. 37.5%), while matching it in social studies. The school also sits well below nearby 5-star schools like Gladeville Middle School, West Wilson Middle School, Station Camp Middle School, and Mt. Juliet Middle School. Chronic absenteeism (16.2%) runs above the district average (13.1%), affecting roughly 1 in 6 students. Subgroup performance varies widely — White students rank at the 72nd percentile statewide and African American students at the 61st, while Hispanic students (38th), English Language Learners (21st), and special education students — who dropped from the 78th to the 30th percentile — face persistent challenges the school will need to address.
