Summary

White House Middle School in White House, TN, serves 638 students in grades 5–8 as part of Sumner County Schools. The school is a consistent standout in Tennessee, ranking 67th of 594 middle schools in 2025-2026 — the 89th percentile with 4 stars — and it has held between the 88th and 92nd percentiles statewide over the past five years. On recent TNReady assessments, White House Middle School posted proficiency rates of 63.9% in math, 47.3% in ELA, 60.8% in science, and 63.6% in social studies, beating state averages in every subject and district averages in all but ELA.

Math is the clear standout subject, with proficiency 20.9 points above the state average and particularly strong 6th-grade results at 70.1%. The school also serves economically disadvantaged students exceptionally well, ranking in the 92nd percentile statewide for that subgroup — even higher than its overall rank. However, ELA is the soft spot, trailing the Sumner County district average by roughly 4 points for four consecutive years. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern: at 14.2%, White House has the highest rate among nearby Sumner County peers like Liberty Creek Middle School (5.7%) and Robert E Ellis Middle School (9.0%), and it has risen steadily since 2021-2022. Hispanic students represent the clearest subgroup opportunity, with results at the 69th percentile.

White House sits in an exceptionally competitive neighborhood. Nearby T. W. Hunter Middle School (ranked 7th), Liberty Creek Middle School (24th), Station Camp Middle School (32nd), and Robert E Ellis Middle School (27th) all rank higher, which puts White House's 89th-percentile rank in perspective. Still, White House is a cost-effective high performer, spending $11,898 per student — far less than Metro Nashville schools like Madison Middle School ($18,514) or Goodlettsville Middle School ($17,514) that rank much lower. Closing the ELA gap, addressing absenteeism, and strengthening support for Hispanic students could push this already strong school into the top 5% statewide.
