Summary

Glenellen Elementary School is a large PK–5 school in Clarksville, TN, serving 1,143 students and belonging to the Clarksville-Montgomery County Schools district. Located in a community with strong military ties, the school has experienced a steady downward slide: it was ranked at the 83rd percentile with a 4-star rating in 2017-2018, but now holds a 2-star rating and sits at the 40th percentile statewide for 2025-2026. This decline has been consistent over roughly seven years, making Glenellen an increasingly unusual outlier within a district that remains strong overall.

On this year's state tests, Glenellen trails its district in every subject. Math is the biggest concern, with 35.2% proficiency versus 42.1% for the district and 43.0% statewide. The gap widens in upper grades: while 3rd graders are about 6 points behind state averages in math, 4th graders trail by roughly 15 points and 5th graders by about 12. Science is the school's relative bright spot at 44.7% proficiency, nearly matching the state, and ELA is only slightly below the state average. A useful comparison is nearby Pisgah Elementary, just about 2 miles away, which outperforms Glenellen across all subjects while spending similar or slightly more per student — evidence that the school's results are not simply inevitable for a large Clarksville elementary.

There are encouraging signs mixed with areas of concern. Glenellen serves its African American and Hispanic students well, with both groups performing near or above statewide medians in recent years. However, outcomes for English Language Learners (4th percentile), military-connected students (9th–12th percentile), and special education students (roughly the 25th to 32nd percentile) are strikingly low and deserve attention, especially given the community's military population. On the positive side, chronic absenteeism is a real strength at 14.4% — better than the district's 15.1% and well below the state's 18.3%. The school also spends less per student ($11,712) than most nearby schools, including Byrns Darden Elementary ($15,619) and Kenwood Elementary ($14,127), both of which perform worse. For parents, the biggest questions to ask the school are about how it plans to strengthen upper-grade math and support its most at-risk learners.
