Summary

Kenwood High is a public high school located in Clarksville, Tennessee, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,311 students. The school is part of the Montgomery County School District, which is ranked 56 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kenwood High faces significant academic and performance challenges, particularly in comparison to other schools in the Montgomery County district and the state of Tennessee. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Tennessee high schools, with low proficiency rates on state assessments across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 8.2% of Kenwood High students were proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to 26.1% in the Montgomery County district and 29.4% statewide. The school also struggles with performance in other core subjects, as well as higher-than-average dropout rates and chronic absenteeism.

Interestingly, Kenwood High's performance is generally lower than the other high schools in the Montgomery County district, such as Montgomery Central High, Kirkwood High, Rossview High, and Clarksville High, all of which rank significantly higher in the state. Additionally, the nearby Middle College @ Austin Peay State University, a small high school with a focus on dual enrollment, consistently outperforms Kenwood High and most other schools in the state.
