Meadowview Middle School serves grades six through eight in Morristown, Tennessee, as a regular public school within the Hamblen County district. The school is located on Meadowview Lane, a residential street in a city that functions as the manufacturing and commercial hub of the Lakeway Area. Morristown’s economy is built around industrial production, including automotive and aircraft parts, furniture, poultry processing, and health care products, and the city has seen steady population growth over recent decades. The school sits within a community that also offers recreational anchors like Cherokee Lake and Panther Creek State Park, as well as a traditional downtown district along Main Street.
The student body at Meadowview Middle School is diverse. A majority of students are Hispanic, with a substantial white population and smaller shares of students who are two or more races, Black, Asian, American Indian or Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander. The school serves a sizable enrollment for a middle school in this grade band, with roughly balanced class sizes across sixth, seventh, and eighth grades. Data on the share of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, as well as the share of students with an individualized education program or who are English learners, was not available in the data provided. A parent may want to ask the school directly about these support populations.
On state assessments, Meadowview Middle School’s proficiency rates are low across all tested subjects. In math and English language arts, the share of students scoring at the proficient level or above is modest. Science and social studies show somewhat higher proficiency rates, though still below what many families would consider a strong showing. Participation rates on the assessments were very high, meaning the results reflect nearly the entire student body. The school does not serve high school grades, so there is no graduation rate to report.
The school is a regular public school, not a charter or magnet. Data on Title I status, discipline rates, course access, staffing ratios, and chronic absenteeism were not available in the data provided. A parent may want to follow up with the school or district for details on these areas.
Housing in the area around the school is moderately priced relative to national benchmarks. Home values have seen some appreciation, and rents are at a level that is generally affordable compared to household income. The broader economic context shows a national unemployment rate that has been stable, and mortgage rates have been in a typical range.
Meadowview Middle School is one of several middle schools in the Hamblen County district. The comparison fact-set that would place the school relative to other districts in Hamblen County could not be applied because there is only one district in the county, so no meaningful comparison was possible. The school’s academic results stand on their own as a measure of current performance.
For a family considering this school, the central takeaway is the academic proficiency picture. The school serves a diverse, sizable middle school population in a manufacturing-centered city that has seen steady growth. The proficiency rates on state assessments are low across all subjects, which is the primary factor a parent would want to weigh. The school’s location in Morristown offers access to regional recreational amenities and a community college, and the housing market is moderately priced. Without data on programs, discipline, staffing, or support services, a family would need to visit the school and speak with staff to get a fuller sense of the learning environment and available opportunities.
