Summary:
ZIP code 37034, serving the Chapel Hill, Tennessee area, is home to exactly one public middle school—Delk-Henson Intermediate School—which enrolls 422 students in grades 4 through 6 under the Marshall County Schools district.
Because Delk-Henson is the only middle school in the ZIP code, it defines the area’s academic profile, and the data shows clear strengths. In science, the school posts 62.7% overall proficiency, well above the district’s 50.7% and the state’s 46.9%, with 6th graders especially impressive at 76.2% proficiency compared to 56.3% district and 48.0% state averages. Mathematics is also a plus: overall math proficiency is 47.2%, beating both the district (44.6%) and state (43.0%), and 6th-grade math particularly shines at 48.3% against a 40.1% state average. English Language Arts overall is essentially at the state average (40.9% vs. 40.6%) but sits well above the district’s 35.9%. Chronic absenteeism is notably low at 11.3%, far better than the district’s 15.3% and the state’s 18.3%, a strong factor for consistent learning.
Still, there are areas to watch. Fifth-grade ELA is the weakest subject, with 36.6% proficiency—over 6 points below the state’s 42.7%—and 5th-grade science also dips just below the district average. Social studies proficiency dropped sharply from 53.9% to 49.0% in one year, now sitting beneath both district and state averages. The school’s per-student spending is $10,363, though socioeconomic and staffing details like free/reduced lunch percentages and student-teacher ratios are not reported. Overall, Delk-Henson is a strong school for science and math, with good attendance and mostly solid results; the 5th-grade ELA gap and social studies slide are worth keeping an eye on.
