While the schools generally perform at reasonable levels, Headland Middle School stands out as a clear academic standout, consistently ranking among the top middle schools in the state.

Headland Middle School's test scores significantly exceed county and state averages across multiple subjects, and the school has earned 4-5 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger over the past 3 years.

The schools in the 36345 zip code area serve a relatively homogeneous student population, with white students making up 72-74% of the student body. Additionally, between 47-49% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a moderate level of economic disadvantage. While the district's spending per student is in line with state averages, the data suggests opportunities to further improve performance at the elementary and high school levels to match the standout success of Headland Middle School.
