Thurgood Marshall Middle

Summary:

Thurgood Marshall Middle is a public middle school in Antioch, Tennessee, serving 753 students in grades 5-8. The school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Tennessee middle schools and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Thurgood Marshall Middle struggles academically, with proficiency rates in TNReady assessments that are significantly lower than state and district averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's overall proficiency rates were just 13% in Math and 15.3% in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 39.7% and 37.6%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Asian students (ranked 62 out of 65 in the state) and Special Education students (ranked 283 out of 293). Additionally, the school exhibits significant achievement gaps between different racial/ethnic student groups, with the proficiency rates for Asian students being much higher than those for African American and Hispanic students.

Thurgood Marshall Middle's challenges are compounded by its high-poverty student population and lower-than-average spending per student. However, the school's location in Antioch, a growing and diverse community, presents opportunities for partnerships and community-based initiatives to support student learning and engagement. Nearby schools, such as Valor Voyager Academy, William Henry Oliver Middle, and Mill Creek Middle School, which serve more diverse or higher-income student populations, demonstrate that it is possible for schools in the same district to achieve much higher academic outcomes, providing potential models for improvement at Thurgood Marshall Middle.

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.
