Public Grades

Summary

Jonesborough Middle School is a public middle school in Jonesborough, Tennessee, serving 416 students in grades 5-8. The school is part of the Washington County School District, which is ranked 40 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

While Jonesborough Middle School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (82.45%) compared to the state average for middle schools, its academic performance, as measured by TNReady test scores, is generally below the state and district averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (33.8%), English Language Arts (31.3%), and Science (31.8%) were all lower than the state averages. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, ranking in the bottom quartile of Tennessee middle schools for White students, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

Jonesborough Middle School's academic performance has declined over the past few years, and the gaps between the school and state/district averages have grown larger, particularly for student subgroups. Compared to nearby middle schools, such as Chuckey Doak Middle School, T.A. Dugger Junior High School, and the two Johnson City middle schools, Jonesborough Middle School has lower proficiency rates, weaker rankings, and poorer SchoolDigger ratings. These challenges may be influenced by the school's high percentage of white students, relatively low spending per student, and higher student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools.
