Summary

Kenwood Elementary is a public elementary school in Clarksville, Tennessee, serving 663 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Montgomery County school district, which is ranked 56 out of 139 districts in the state.

Academically, Kenwood Elementary lags behind the Montgomery County and Tennessee state averages on TNReady test scores, particularly in Mathematics where the school's proficiency rate is significantly lower than the district and state. The school also has a higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to the state average, which may be contributing to its academic challenges. While Hispanic students at Kenwood perform relatively well, the school's performance for military-connected students and students with special needs is among the lowest in the state.

Interestingly, Burt Elementary, Hazelwood Elementary, and West Creek Elementary, which are nearby schools in the Montgomery County district, have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and better overall performance compared to Kenwood Elementary, despite the latter having higher per-student spending. Addressing the school's chronic absenteeism and implementing targeted interventions for underperforming student subgroups could be key focus areas for Kenwood Elementary to improve its educational outcomes.
