SUMNER COUNTY MIDDLE COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL

Sumner County Middle College High School is a public high school that is part of the Sumner County school district, located in Gallatin, TN with about 56 students offering grade levels from 11th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 2 teachers, Sumner County Middle College High School has a student/teacher ratio of about 28:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Sumner County Middle College High School (SCMC), located in Gallatin, Tennessee, is a specialized educational institution designed for juniors and seniors who are ready to pursue a rigorous, college-focused curriculum. Operating in partnership with Volunteer State Community College, the school provides a unique "dual-enrollment" environment where students earn both their high school diploma and transferable college credit simultaneously. This program is ideal for self-motivated students looking to get a head start on their higher education, save on future tuition costs, and experience the structure of a college campus while still in high school.

The school is distinguished by its focused, academic atmosphere and its commitment to preparing students for the transition to four-year universities or technical careers. Because the curriculum is fast-paced and requires a high level of personal responsibility, SCMC maintains a smaller, more intimate setting that allows for closer engagement with faculty. By blending the support systems of a high school with the independence and challenges of college coursework, Sumner County Middle College provides a bridge for students to bridge the gap between secondary and post-secondary success.
