Summary

Midway High School is a small public high school in Kingston, TN, serving 217 students in grades 9–12 as part of Roane County Schools. The school is a clear academic standout in the region, holding a 4-star rating and ranking 47th out of 400 Tennessee high schools (88th percentile) for the 2025–2026 school year. That puts Midway well ahead of every other high school in the immediate area, including Roane County High School (78th percentile), Lenoir City High School (75th percentile), and Loudon High School (57th percentile).

Midway’s state test scores are notably strong. In 2025–2026, Algebra II proficiency reached 58.6% and English II reached 73.5% — both roughly 20 points above state averages and far ahead of nearby schools like Harriman High School and Rockwood High School. The school also leads the comparison set in Biology, Geometry, and English I. Chronic absenteeism sits at 15.0%, below the state rate of 18.3% and much better than Harriman (23.6%), Rockwood (20.6%), and Sweetwater High School (21.3%). Midway also invests more per student than its neighbors at $16,296, the highest among area high schools.

Midway also stands out for how well it serves student subgroups. Economically disadvantaged students rank in the top 10% statewide, and female, male, and special education students all rank in the 79th–93rd percentile. The one area to watch is graduation rate, which came in at 88.0% in 2024–2025 — below the state average of 90.5%. Because the school is small, results can swing from year to year as cohorts change, but the overall pattern is one of sustained high performance. For parents, Midway offers a compelling combination of academic excellence, strong support across student groups, and a tight-knit school environment.
