Summary

Sango Elementary School is a K-5 school in Clarksville, TN, serving 751 students within the Clarksville-Montgomery County Schools district. Sango is one of the highest-performing elementary schools in Tennessee, ranking 40th out of 1,019 schools for 2025-2026, which places it in the 96th percentile and earns it a 5-star rating. This is not a recent development — Sango has earned 5 stars in every reported year since 2014-2015, consistently ranking between the 91st and 97th percentiles statewide. It is the top-ranked traditional zoned elementary school in its immediate area, with only the specialized Spanish Immersion @ Barksdale school ranking higher nearby.

On TNReady assessments, Sango's students post proficiency rates roughly 30–35 percentage points above district and state averages in math and English language arts, and about 26–33 points above in science. In 2025-2026, 76.7% of students were proficient in math, 74.6% in ELA, and 79.8% in science. By comparison, East Montgomery Elementary — the next closest traditional school — posted 64.2% in math and 73.7% in science. Sango also stands out in 5th grade science at 87% proficiency, a 40.5-point lead over the state. Interestingly, Sango achieves these results while spending less per student than several lower-performing nearby schools, including Barksdale Elementary and Norman Smith Elementary, showing that spending alone doesn't determine outcomes.

Sango also has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate in its area at just 6.4%, compared to 15.2% for the district and 18.9% for the state. The school's high performance extends across nearly all student groups, including special education students and low-income students, who both rank in the top 6% statewide. Military-connected students at Sango rank 2nd in Tennessee — a significant finding given Clarksville's proximity to Fort Campbell. With its exceptional test scores, low absenteeism, and consistent results across all subgroups, Sango is a standout choice for families in the Clarksville area.

We moved from a 5 star school in Texas and this school is every bit as good. The teachers, administration and PTA are excellent. Close Quote
