Summary

[Harriman Middle School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/TN/schools/0359000566/school.aspx) is a public school in Harriman, TN, serving 284 students in grades 6-8 as part of the [Roane County Schools](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/TN/district/03590/search.aspx) district. The school has shown real improvement, climbing from a 2-star rating in 2022-2023 to a solid 3-star rating (59th percentile) in 2025-2026. This places it firmly in the middle of the regional pack. Within Roane County, it outperforms [Rockwood Middle School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/TN/schools/0359001490/school.aspx) and [Oliver Springs Middle School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/TN/schools/0359001483/school.aspx), but trails county rivals [Cherokee Middle School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/TN/schools/0359001475/school.aspx) and [Midway Middle School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/TN/schools/0359002036/school.aspx). Compared to nearby districts, it holds its own against [Lenoir City Intermediate/Middle School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/TN/schools/0240000869/school.aspx) and [Ft Loudoun Middle School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/TN/schools/0252000893/school.aspx), but sits below regional leaders like [North Middle School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/TN/schools/0252000903/school.aspx) and [Robertsville Middle School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/TN/schools/0324001397/school.aspx).

Academically, the school's profile is a tale of two subjects. Math is a genuine bright spot—overall proficiency (45%) beats the state average (43%), and the 6th-grade math cohort is exceptional at 59.3% proficiency compared to 40.1% statewide. Science scores are also strong, particularly in 6th grade. However, English Language Arts (ELA) is a major concern, with only 31.8% proficient versus 40.6% statewide, a gap consistent across all grades. The school also shows a striking pattern: 6th graders perform well above state averages, but 7th graders experience a significant slump across every subject, suggesting a transition issue that needs attention. Notably, Harriman excels at supporting economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 75th percentile (4 stars) for that subgroup in 2025-2026.

The biggest red flag for Harriman is chronic absenteeism. At 20.2%, the rate is the highest among all comparable nearby schools and well above the district (15.9%) and state (18.3%) averages. Regarding funding, Harriman spends about $14,236 per pupil—more than [Cherokee Middle School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/TN/schools/0359001475/school.aspx), which achieves notably better results with less. The path forward is clear: reducing chronic absenteeism and doubling down on literacy interventions would likely unlock significant growth. With its strong 6th-grade foundation and proven ability to support at-risk students, Harriman has the potential to close the gap with its highest-performing neighbors in the coming years.
