Summary:
Clarksville Community School Corp is a five-school district in southern Indiana serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade: one elementary school, one middle school, two high schools, and an alternative school. Enrollment across the five schools totals 7,174, but it is heavily skewed — Indiana Gateway Digital Academy alone enrolls 5,318 students, or 74.1% of the total, making it about 2.9 times larger than the other four schools combined. The district ranks 305th of 374 Indiana districts, in the 18th percentile, with a 1-star rating.
Clarksville Middle School is the strongest local school by rank: 3 stars, 50th percentile, and all-grades ELA proficiency of 43.26% versus the district's 16.11%. It exceeds the state in 5th-grade and 8th-grade ELA. Clarksville Elementary School leads the district in math (49.52%) and science (43.82%), sits close to state averages in 3rd-grade math and 4th-grade science, and improved in all three subjects from the prior year. Clarksville Senior High School posts a 95.5% graduation rate, well above the district's 68.6% and the state's 89.7%, plus SAT reading proficiency of 48.48%.
Indiana Gateway Alternative School is the most acute challenge: 0 stars, 1st percentile, a 53.3% graduation rate, 66.8% chronic absenteeism, and 0% SAT math proficiency. The digital academy, despite its scale, records low proficiency — ELA 8.16%, math 4.75%, science 13.32% — and a 33.0 student/teacher ratio. Middle school science is a concern, falling from 32.04% to 22.12%. Attendance is a district-wide issue: every school exceeds the state chronic absenteeism rate of 16.7%, with the best being Elementary at 19.7% and Middle at 19.9%.
