Summary:

The 37130 zip code in Rutherford County, Tennessee is home to a single middle school, Oakland Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. This school stands out as a strong-performing institution, ranking in the top 20% of Tennessee middle schools and maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three years.

Oakland Middle School demonstrates consistently high academic performance, outpacing both the Rutherford County and Tennessee state averages on state assessments, particularly in mathematics. The school's low chronic absenteeism rate of 18.9% is also a positive indicator of its educational quality. While the school's English Language Arts proficiency rates are lower than its mathematics and science scores, its overall academic outcomes suggest it is a high-performing middle school within the region.

With an enrollment of 1,151 students and a student-teacher ratio of 14.9 to 1, Oakland Middle School appears to be a well-resourced institution. However, the data set is missing information on the school's free/reduced lunch recipient rates and demographic details, which could provide additional insights into the factors contributing to its success.
