Summary

DuPont Tyler Middle is a public middle school located in Hermitage, Tennessee, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 300 students. The school is part of the Davidson County school district, which is ranked 122 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, DuPont Tyler Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Tennessee middle schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 486-538 out of 569-594 schools.

Academically, DuPont Tyler Middle underperforms compared to the Davidson County and Tennessee averages across all subject areas, with proficiency rates as low as 20.9% in Mathematics and 17.6% in English Language Arts in the 2024-2025 school year. The school's performance is particularly concerning in Mathematics, where it ranks in the bottom 20-25% of Tennessee middle schools. Additionally, DuPont Tyler Middle struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, including female, male, African American, Hispanic, and special education students.

While the school's spending per student has increased over the years, reaching $24,849 in the 2023-2024 school year, this higher funding does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes. Interestingly, nearby schools such as Liberty Collegiate Academy, Isaac Litton Middle, and Strive Collegiate Academy, which are also part of the Davidson County district, generally outperform DuPont Tyler Middle in academic achievement, suggesting that the school's challenges may require a comprehensive improvement plan to address the root causes of its underperformance.

What people are saying

by a student
Monday, December 4, 2017

I am a student in 8th grade, and I've noticed that the kids just don't know how to control themselves. The teachers and staff say that they will enforce punishment, but they get lazy and stop caring. The reason the test scores are low is because this school can't control its kid's behavior while the teacher is teaching. I am a new student here, and came from a school where there wouldn't be a warning, you would just be punished immediately, but I enjoyed that school much more because of how much more freedom we were given, because we gained a trust between the teachers and the students.
