Germantown Middle faces significant academic challenges, with its performance lagging behind the state and district averages, particularly in core subject areas. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 145th out of 574 Tennessee middle schools in 2018-2019 to 461st out of 580 in 2023-2024, with a 1-star rating. The school's performance on TNReady assessments is significantly below the state and district averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in Mathematics ranged from 7.3% (8th grade) to 13.8% (7th grade), compared to the state average of 34.1% to 39.7%. However, the school's performance for African American and Hispanic students is relatively better, ranking 182nd and 146th, respectively, out of Tennessee middle schools in 2023-2024. The school's strong performance for Special Education students, ranking 51st out of 288 Tennessee middle schools in 2022-2023 with a 4-star rating, is also noteworthy.

Germantown Middle's academic performance is generally lower than the nearby schools in the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district, such as Houston Middle and Cordova Middle, which have significantly higher proficiency rates and statewide rankings.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
