Summary

Antioch Middle School is a traditional public school in Antioch, TN, serving 656 students in grades 6-8 within Metro Nashville Public Schools. The school has consistently ranked near the bottom of Tennessee middle schools over the past decade, though its 2025–2026 rank of 535th out of 594 schools (10th percentile) is its best showing in more than ten years.

Academically, proficiency rates are dramatically below district and state averages. On the 2025–2026 TNReady assessments, just 8.9% of students were proficient in math and 12.5% in English language arts, compared with state averages of 43.0% and 40.6%. Science (18.2%) and social studies (29.5%) are also well below state norms, though social studies is a relative bright spot, exceeding nearby schools like John F. Kennedy Middle School, Thurgood Marshall Middle School, and Apollo Middle School. The scale of the challenge is visible when compared to nearby charter schools: KIPP Antioch College Prep Middle School and Valor Voyager Academy School post math proficiency rates of 47.0% and 56.6%, respectively. Antioch spends $18,239 per student, more than KIPP Antioch, Kennedy, Thurgood Marshall, and McMurray Middle School, yet produces far lower results than the highest-performing options in the area.

Chronic absenteeism is a major concern, with 26.7% of students chronically absent in 2024–2025—the highest rate among nearby schools and well above the state rate of 18.3%. Thurgood Marshall, only 2.35 miles away, has similarly low math and ELA proficiency but an absenteeism rate of 13.1%, suggesting attendance is a key lever for improvement. There are a few bright spots: special education students improved dramatically from the 4th to the 42nd percentile statewide, and 7th graders posted the strongest scores before an 8th-grade drop-off. However, core math and ELA proficiency remain critical weaknesses, particularly for English language learners and economically disadvantaged students, underscoring the significant challenges Antioch continues to face.

What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, January 21, 2015

If I could give the school a zero, then that would best describe their score for exceptional education. They don't care about the needs or goals for these students. Teachers are supposed to be guiding our children. It's not the student's responsibility. Parent's, don't be fooled when the Iep shows that your child has a side by side or one on one .Make sure that it is an adult and not another student. Look at the student to teacher ratio . Regardless of how many times I address my concerns or contact Metro ,nothing is getting resolved. I noticed another comment where a student said the school was fun for them , such a true statement when it comes to education, a big joke Close Quote
