Summary

Winfree Bryant Middle School in Lebanon, TN, serves 589 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the Lebanon School District, which ranks in the top 25% of districts statewide. The school has shown impressive recent improvement, climbing from a 2-star rating to a 3-star rating for the 2024-2025 school year, ranking 212 out of 583 schools in Tennessee—a significant 69-spot jump from the previous year.

One of the school's standout strengths is its exceptional Algebra I program, where 91.7% of 8th graders taking the exam were proficient in 2024-2025—nearly identical to the district average and dramatically higher than the state average of 29.4%. This suggests a highly effective advanced math track. However, the school faces a "middle school math cliff" where general math proficiency drops from 44.3% in 6th grade to just 27.5% in 8th grade, well below the state average. While Winfree Bryant outperforms nearby schools like Rucker Stewart Middle and Joe Shafer Middle, it is surrounded by top-tier options in Wilson County and Sumner County, such as Gladeville Middle and Station Camp Middle, which consistently achieve 5-star ratings and proficiency rates 20-30 percentage points higher in core subjects.

Chronic absenteeism is a persistent challenge, with a rate of 16.2% in 2024-2025—higher than the district average and significantly above high-performing peers like Station Camp Middle (11.0%) and Gladeville Middle (11.2%). The school also shows a stark contrast in serving different student groups: it has historically been a top performer for Special Education students, though this dropped sharply in 2024-2025, while it struggles with English Language Learner students, ranking in the bottom 21st percentile. With per-student spending of $12,230—higher than many nearby schools—Winfree Bryant has the resources to address these gaps. Its recent upward momentum makes it a school to watch for families in the Lebanon area.
