Based on the available data, Middlesettlements stands out as the higher-performing school, consistently outpacing Friendsville Elementary and the district/state averages on key metrics like test scores and statewide rankings.

Middlesettlements is ranked in the top 16% of Tennessee elementary schools, while Friendsville lags behind in the bottom 62%.
