Summary:
Zip code 37807 near Maynardville, Tennessee is served by exactly one middle school — H Maynard Middle School — which enrolls roughly 604 students across grades 6–8 and belongs to Union County Schools. As the only middle school in the area, it is the sole option for local families, making its performance especially important. The district ranks 124th out of 141 Tennessee districts (12th percentile, one star), but the school consistently beats its district average in most subjects, posting a 32.1% average proficiency across all four tested subjects compared to the district's 28.8%.
Academically, H Maynard has notable strengths and clear weaknesses. Science proficiency jumped 9.2 points and social studies jumped 12.1 points in one year, making social studies the school's best subject at 40.2%. English language arts improved modestly to 27.3%, while math improved only slightly to 24.3% — meaning roughly one in four students is proficient in these core areas, far below the state averages of 40.6% and 43.0%. Grade-level patterns show 7th graders struggling most across multiple subjects, while 6th graders lead in ELA and science and 8th graders lead in social studies.
The biggest concern is chronic absenteeism: 25.9% of students miss significant school time, compared to 16.3% for the district and 18.3% statewide, which likely helps explain the low proficiency in math and reading. That said, the school's SchoolDigger ranking is climbing steadily — from the 18th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 22nd in 2024–2025 and now the 31st percentile in 2025–2026, improving from one star to two stars. Per-pupil spending is $14,831, though without a state comparison or student-teacher ratio it is difficult to assess resource efficiency. Overall, H Maynard is a locally strong school with positive momentum, but parents should keep in mind the attendance challenges and the need for targeted support in math and literacy.
