Summary:
The city of Afton, Tennessee is home to two schools - Chuckey Doak High School and Chuckey Doak Middle School, both of which serve students in the Greene County district. While the middle school consistently outperforms the county and state on standardized tests, the high school's scores are more average or slightly below.
Chuckey Doak Middle School appears to be the standout school, ranking among the top 44-113 middle schools in Tennessee over the past 3 years and earning 4-5 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are significantly higher than the county and state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels, including mathematics, English language arts, science, and social studies. In contrast, Chuckey Doak High School's performance appears more average, with its statewide ranking dropping from 80th in 2021-2022 to 139th in 2022-2023.
The data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance between the middle and high school, which could be attributed to factors such as the middle school's smaller student-teacher ratio, higher spending per student, and effective teaching practices. However, the high school's declining performance warrants further investigation to understand the underlying causes. Additionally, both schools have a predominantly white student population, with relatively low percentages of Black and Hispanic students, which could indicate potential equity and access issues that should be explored further.
