Summary

Midway Middle School is a small public school in Ten Mile, Tennessee, serving 191 students in grades 6–8 within Roane County Schools. Despite its size, the school has earned a 4-star rating in nine of the past ten ranked years, ranking 83rd out of 594 Tennessee middle schools in 2025–2026 (86th percentile). In every core subject on TNReady assessments, Midway outperformed both its district and the state—most notably in science (58.5% proficient vs. 46.9% statewide) and social studies (63.7% vs. 51.4%).

Midway's standing compares favorably to nearby schools. Cherokee Middle School ranks close behind at 75th statewide, while Harriman Middle School (246th) and Rockwood Middle School (331st) trail considerably; in neighboring districts, Spring City Middle School (91st) and North Middle School (52nd) are the closest competitors. The school also leads in student engagement and investment: its chronic absenteeism rate of 11.4% is well below the district's 15.9% and the state's 18.3%, and its $15,924 per-student spending is the highest among nearby schools, supporting a low student–teacher ratio of about 11.8 to 1.

Two areas are worth monitoring. The 8th-grade cohort shows notable drops in several subjects, with ELA proficiency falling to 32.3% compared to the 47–53% range in 6th and 7th grades. The special education subgroup also dipped to the 42nd percentile in 2025–2026 after ranking in the 63rd–74th percentile range in prior years. On a positive note, female students have ranked in the 85th–94th percentile statewide over the past three years, and low-income students currently perform at the 80th percentile, reflecting the school's effectiveness across a wide range of learners.

What people are saying

by a teacher
Tuesday, May 23, 2017

The principal is a micro-manager and a dictator. She screams at students and at teachers. She talks about staff to other staff members. She is arrogant and a hot head. She is mad about something all the time. Do not send your kids there! Close Quote
