Summary

Kenwood Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Clarksville, Tennessee, serving 779 students as part of the Clarksville-Montgomery County Schools district — a district that ranks in the 70th percentile statewide — yet Kenwood itself currently holds a 1-star rating and ranks 725th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools (29th percentile). Proficiency rates trail both district and state averages in all three tested subjects: math sits at 36.2% (district 42.1%), English language arts at 30.2% (district 42.3%), and science at 40.3% (district 53.5%). One bright spot is attendance: Kenwood's chronic absenteeism rate of 13.7% is better than the district's 15.1% and the state's 18.3%.

Among ten nearby district elementary schools, Kenwood lands in the lower-middle portion — ahead of Minglewood, Ringgold, and Byrns Darden but well behind Barkers Mill, West Creek, Pisgah, and Hazelwood. Its most significant weakness is early literacy: only 28.8% of 3rd graders are proficient in ELA, a number only ahead of Byrns Darden and Minglewood among the comparison group. Math tells a more encouraging story, with 5th grade math proficiency (43.8%) surpassing several higher-ranked nearby schools, and overall math proficiency climbing from 20.8% two years ago to 36.2% today. Kenwood also spends more per student ($14,127) than higher-performing neighbors like West Creek ($11,615) and Hazelwood ($11,841), making the academic gap harder to explain by funding alone.

Kenwood's trajectory is the most concerning finding: it was a 4-star, top-quartile school as recently as 2018–2019 but has slid to the bottom third over the past six years. Progress is uneven across student groups. Low-income students have improved to the 50th percentile in subgroup rankings and African American students to the 44th, but Hispanic students dropped from the 73rd to the 43rd percentile in a year, special education ranks at the 17th percentile, and military-connected students rank near the bottom among comparable schools statewide — a striking gap for a community tied to Fort Campbell. The path forward is clear: build on the math momentum, target early literacy with urgency, and close the subgroup gaps that are holding the school back.
