Summary

Midway Elementary is a public elementary school in Kingston, Tennessee, serving around 400 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Roane County School District, which is ranked 63 out of 139 districts in the state.

Midway Elementary has a strong performance history, consistently ranking in the top 25-30% of Tennessee elementary schools for most of the past decade. The school outperforms the Roane County and Tennessee state averages in proficiency rates for TNReady Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science assessments across all grade levels. Midway's strongest performance is in 5th grade Mathematics, where proficiency rates have been in the 60-70% range, significantly higher than the county and state averages. However, the school's performance for male students and special education students lags behind, ranking in the bottom 40% of Tennessee elementary schools for these subgroups.

When compared to nearby schools in the Roane County district, Kingston Elementary and Midtown Elementary provide useful benchmarks for Midway Elementary to strive towards, as they generally outperform Midway in academic proficiency rates. While Midway Elementary has a strong overall performance, the slight decline in its statewide ranking and the disparities in subgroup performance suggest there may be opportunities for the school to further improve and better support all students in reaching their full potential.
