Summary

Collinwood Middle School is a public middle school in Collinwood, Tennessee, serving 234 students in grades 5-8. The school is part of the Wayne County School District, which is ranked 120 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Collinwood Middle School has consistently underperformed compared to state and county averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates that are often 10-20 percentage points below. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's math proficiency rate was 23.1% compared to 42.2% statewide and 22.3% in Wayne County. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 10.9% to 21.2% over the past few years. While the school performs relatively well for its special education students, it lags behind in serving its white and low-income student populations.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($15,120 in 2023-2024) than the state average, Collinwood Middle School has not been able to translate this additional funding into improved academic outcomes. The school's isolated location, with the nearest comparable school being Waynesboro Middle School about 9.5 miles away, may contribute to its underperformance. Additionally, the school's performance has steadily declined over the past decade, suggesting the need for a comprehensive, data-driven approach to address the challenges facing Collinwood Middle School.
