Delk-Henson Intermediate School

Public Grades 4-6

Summary

Delk-Henson Intermediate School serves 422 students in grades 4–6 in Chapel Hill, Tennessee, as part of Marshall County Schools. On the 2025–2026 TNReady assessments, the school posted 47.2% proficiency in math (state: 43.0%), 40.9% in English Language Arts (state: 40.6%), 62.7% in science (state: 46.9%), and 49.0% in social studies (state: 51.4%). Even though its district is mid-tier in Tennessee (ranked 60th of 141 with a 3-star rating), Delk-Henson is the strongest middle school in Marshall County by a wide margin, leading Westhills Elementary School — which serves the same grades in the same district — by 6.5 points in math, 11.7 points in ELA, 15.3 points in science, and 10.4 points in social studies.

Science is the school's signature strength, with a 62.7% proficiency rate that is nearly 16 points above the state average and slightly higher than Rockvale Middle School, a high-performing school in Rutherford County Schools. Sixth-grade science is especially remarkable at 76.2% proficient versus 48.0% statewide. Chronic absenteeism is also a bright spot, dropping to 11.3% from 17.1% the previous year, and is now far below the district rate of 15.3% and the state rate of 18.3%. Perhaps most impressive, Delk-Henson achieves these results with the lowest per-pupil spending in the area at $10,363, compared to $12,102 at Westhills Elementary and $13,098 at Heritage Middle School.

ELA is the main area to watch. Overall proficiency has declined from 48.5% in 2022–2023 to 40.9% today, and grade-level data reveals a dip in grades 5 and 6 (36.6% and 37.7%) despite a strong 48.5% in 4th grade. Math has also trended downward from 55.3% to 47.2%, though it remains above state and district averages. Social studies scores have been volatile, falling from 64.6% in 2023–2024 to 49.0% now. There are also questions about what happens after Delk-Henson: students moving on to Lewisburg Middle School show significantly lower proficiency in every subject (33.0% math, 25.3% ELA, 38.3% science) — though these are different students, the pattern suggests the academic gains built here may not carry through middle school.
