Summary

Vonore Middle School serves 258 students in grades 5–8 in the small town of Vonore, Tennessee, and is part of Monroe County Schools. While the district ranks in the bottom 13% of Tennessee districts, Vonore stands out as its strongest middle school — ranking 314th of 594 Tennessee middle schools at the 47th percentile. The school has climbed steadily from a 15th-percentile ranking a decade ago, and it outperforms both Tellico Plains Junior High and Madisonville Middle in nearly every subject.

Social studies is Vonore's clear academic strength: 53% of students scored proficient in 2025-26, above the state average of 51.4% and far above the district's 35.9%. Eighth grade social studies is especially strong at 61.7% proficiency. Math is also on the rise, jumping from 26.2% proficiency in 2022-23 to 41.5% in 2025-26, with 8th grade math (53.2%) beating the state average by nearly 15 points. One of the most notable findings is how well the school serves economically disadvantaged students — ranking at the 85th percentile statewide for that subgroup, far above the school's overall 47th-percentile ranking.

Science remains Vonore's weakest subject, with 35.5% proficiency versus the state's 46.9%, and 6th grade shows a noticeable slump — science proficiency trails the state by nearly 24 points. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern, rising from 15.9% in 2022-23 to 21.2% in 2024-25, now above the state average. Compared to nearby schools, Vonore spends generously at $14,040 per student, but it still lags far behind top performers like Montgomery Ridge Intermediate and North Middle. Still, for families choosing within Monroe County Schools, Vonore is the strongest option by a meaningful margin.
