Summary

Huntsville Middle School is a public school in Huntsville, Tennessee, serving 268 students in grades 5–8 as part of Scott County Schools. For 2025–2026, it ranks 439th out of 594 Tennessee middle schools (26th percentile) — a steady decline from the 59th percentile it held in 2020–2021. This places Huntsville well behind both Jacksboro Middle School (52nd percentile) and Oneida Middle School (56th percentile). The gap is notable since Scott County Schools ranks higher overall than Campbell County Schools, the district that includes Jacksboro.

Academically, Huntsville Middle trails its nearby rivals and the state in every core subject. In math, only 25.4% of students are proficient, compared with 40% at Jacksboro Middle School and 29.4% at Oneida Middle School. English Language Arts is a school-wide weakness: no grade level reaches even 25% proficiency, far below the state's 40.6% average. Science shows 28.8% proficiency versus 46.2% at Oneida. Social studies is the school's strongest subject at 39.6%, though still below the state. There are bright spots: 8th grade math (36.8%) approaches the state average, and 7th grade social studies exceeds the Scott County Schools district average. However, 5th graders already arrive behind state expectations, suggesting challenges begin before middle school.

Chronic absenteeism is a serious concern, rising from 7% in 2020–2021 to 23.4% in 2024–2025 — well above the state average of 18.3% and the district's 17.1%. This rise closely tracks the school's academic decline. Huntsville spends about $11,734 per student, roughly 13% more than Jacksboro Middle School, yet achieves significantly lower results, suggesting that spending alone is not driving improvement. Subgroup data shows particular challenges for special education students and students from low-income families. With steady declining performance and literacy struggles across all grades, the school appears to need focused, data-driven intervention — though success in 8th grade math and 7th grade social studies shows improvement is possible.
