Summary

Coopertown Middle School serves 617 students in grades 6–8 in Springfield, Tennessee, as part of Robertson County Schools, and currently holds a 1-star rating, ranking 523rd out of 594 Tennessee middle schools (12th percentile). The school's most striking feature is its dramatic decline: in 2014–2015 it ranked in the 81st percentile (4 stars), held steady around mid-pack through 2018–2021, then collapsed to the bottom quintile starting in 2022–2023, reaching its lowest point ever in 2024–2025 at the 8th percentile. While 2025–2026 shows a slight uptick to 12th percentile, the school remains near the bottom statewide.

Academically, Coopertown's proficiency rates are dramatically lower than district and state averages in every subject. On the 2025–2026 TNReady assessments, only 15.4% of students are proficient in math and ELA, compared to 38.8% and 35.8% for Robertson County Schools and 43.0% and 40.6% statewide. Science (18.8%) and social studies (22.8%) are similarly far behind. Students also fall further behind as they progress: math proficiency drops from 16.8% in 6th grade to just 9.3% in 8th grade. Nearby Sycamore Middle School, only 6.8 miles away, achieves 46.4% math proficiency while spending over $2,000 less per student, demonstrating that the surrounding region can produce far stronger results.

There is one narrow bright spot: a small group of advanced 8th graders taking Algebra I score 78.9% proficient, but their peers in standard 8th-grade math score only 9.3%. Chronic absenteeism improved to 18.8% — close to the state average (18.3%) — though still higher than high-performing neighbors like White House Middle School (14.2%) and Kirkwood Middle School (9.6%). At $13,171 per student, Coopertown spends more than Greenbrier Middle School ($12,784), White House Middle School ($11,898), and Kirkwood Middle School ($11,438), yet those schools achieve double or triple the math proficiency. This suggests that resources are not the primary constraint; instructional quality, curriculum, and school climate likely need comprehensive intervention. The school's history shows it is capable of much better, and nearby schools prove better outcomes are achievable.
