Summary

Oakland Middle School is a public middle school located in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,151 students. The school is part of the Rutherford County School District, which is ranked 39 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oakland Middle School has consistently ranked in the top half of Tennessee middle schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 118-163 out of 569-594 middle schools statewide. The school has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years, indicating strong overall performance. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 50.7% in Mathematics, 39.6% in English Language Arts, 53.4% in Science, and 58% in Social Studies, which are generally on par with or slightly above the Rutherford County and Tennessee state averages. The school's performance is particularly strong in Social Studies, where it consistently outperforms the county and state averages.

While Oakland Middle School's overall performance is strong, there are some disparities in the performance of certain student subgroups, particularly Asian and English Language Learner students. The school may want to investigate the underlying factors contributing to these performance gaps and implement targeted interventions to support these student populations. Additionally, the school has experienced fluctuations in its chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 11.9% to 20.2% over the past few years, which is worth monitoring as high rates of chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student learning and academic outcomes.
