Summary

Gladeville Middle School is a highly regarded public school in Mount Juliet, Tennessee, serving 991 students in grades 6 through 8 as part of Wilson County Schools. The school has been a consistent academic powerhouse, ranking in the top 5% of Tennessee middle schools for at least six straight years, and currently holds the #19 spot out of 594 schools statewide with a 5-star rating.

Academically, Gladeville significantly exceeds both district and state averages in every core subject. For instance, 68.9% of students are proficient in Math versus 43% statewide, and 81.6% are proficient in Social Studies compared to 51.4% across Tennessee. It also outperforms its local rivals; Gladeville leads Mt. Juliet Middle School by roughly 10 percentage points and West Wilson Middle School by 5–8 points in every subject. Even compared to a well-regarded charter like KIPP Antioch College Prep Middle School, Gladeville remains comfortably ahead. The school achieves these results while spending a modest $10,726 per student, far less than nearby schools like John F. Kennedy Middle School ($16,365) or DuPont Tyler Middle School ($18,968), which have much lower proficiency rates.

Gladeville also stands out for its equity and student engagement. Chronic absenteeism sits at just 11.2%, well below the state average of 18.3%. Students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, as well as African American, Hispanic, Special Education, and English Language Learner students, all rank in the top 8% to 15% statewide—evidence of strong, inclusive teaching. While there is a typical dip in 7th-grade Math and ELA scores, the overall picture is remarkable. With elite performance, efficient spending, and a clear commitment to helping every child succeed, Gladeville Middle School is a standout choice for families in Middle Tennessee.

Open Quote One star is a stretch. Gladeville middle school is a poorly ran school. The faculty, office staff and athletics department are not only fueled on a superiority complex, racist demeanor but prejudice against any child with special needs. From the minute my son was enrolled they organized a witch hunt on him. They failed to provide the basic needs of special needs kids and they I targeted with his athletics incorporating coaches. I had requested counseling on campus to help him deal with the emotional trauma the school was implementing as well as sent multiple emails to the principal, vice principal and super intendant and it only made them attack him more. They have caused my son serious emotional damage and anxiety and refuse to be accountable or stop their bully actions. They use iss as a form of manipulative control and NO KID IS SAFE AT THIS SCHOOL!!! Close Quote
