Summary

Robertsville Middle School, serving 768 students in grades 5–8 in Oak Ridge, TN, is a solidly above-average school within the highly regarded Oak Ridge Schools district, ranked 14th of 141 in Tennessee. The school has earned a 4-star rating and sits in the 81st percentile statewide, a major climb from its 2-star, 49th-percentile standing in 2018–2019. Over seven years, Robertsville has moved from mid-pack to the top 20% of Tennessee middle schools.

Academically, Robertsville beats the state average in most subjects, but trails its own district and the other Oak Ridge middle school, Jefferson Middle School, which ranks at the 88th percentile. Math proficiency at Robertsville is 46.6% versus 54.2% districtwide and 52.3% at Jefferson; ELA proficiency is 39.9%, near the state average but below the district's 48.7%. The biggest challenge is ELA, especially in 8th grade, where only 31.8% of students are proficient. However, science and social studies are strengths, with 6th-8th grade science proficiency between 64% and 67.3%, far above state averages. Notably, male students outperform female students, and the special education program ranks in the 91st percentile statewide.

Beyond test scores, chronic absenteeism is 15.2%, better than the district (16.6%) and state (18.3%) but higher than Jefferson's 10.2% and volatile year to year. Per-student spending is relatively high at $15,236, yet several lower-spending schools rank higher, including Farragut Middle School ($10,698) and Hardin Valley Middle School ($11,459). This suggests room to translate resources into better outcomes. Overall, Robertsville offers a positive trajectory, strong science and social studies, and excellent special education support, making it a compelling choice for families in the area.
