Summary

Clarksville High School is a large, comprehensive public high school serving approximately 1,530 students in grades 9–12 in Clarksville, TN, and is part of the Clarksville-Montgomery County School District. The school currently ranks 55th out of 400 Tennessee high schools, placing it in the 86th percentile with a 4-star rating. Among nearby district high schools, it trails Rossview High School (40th) and Kirkwood High School (41st), but outranks Montgomery Central High School (67th), Northeast High School (108th), Northwest High School (142nd), West Creek High School (194th), and Kenwood High School (236th).

CHS's greatest academic strength is its advanced coursework. Algebra II proficiency is 60.2%, a 20+ point advantage over the district (39.5%) and state (37.3%), and far ahead of Rossview (43.5%) and Kirkwood (41.3%). Tenth-grade Algebra II proficiency is especially striking at 93.4%. The school also posts strong numbers in English II (73.6%), Biology I (61%), US History (63.9%), and Geometry (52.2%). Its graduation rate of 91.5% tops the state average, and the school has shown notable recent gains with African American and low-income students, both of whom now rank in the high-80s percentile statewide.

A few areas are worth monitoring. Ninth-grade foundational courses are weaker than the upper-level classes: Algebra I proficiency is 34.9% and English I is 34.7%, the latter slightly below both the district (35.7%) and state (37.8%) averages. Special education results have also declined over the past three years, falling from the 81st percentile to the 37th percentile. Chronic absenteeism is 16.8%, better than Kenwood (23.8%), Northwest (25.8%), and West Creek (22.1%), but slightly above the district average (15.1%). On the positive side, military-connected students perform well, a meaningful consideration for families tied to Fort Campbell. With per-student spending of $11,435—mid-range among nearby schools—CHS achieves strong overall outcomes at a reasonable cost.

I can't write a very detailed review due to limited space, but I just want to say that I highly recommend CHS if you are looking for a high school in CMCSS. This is my third year at Clarksville High School, and I am so glad this is where I get to make my high school memories. The teachers are very friendly, intelligent, helpful, and it's very obvious how much they love their students. CHS offers many different courses (including AP and Dual-Enrollment), sports, clubs, and other extra-curricular activities. You can see the school spirit as soon as you enter the door. CHS has lots of different events from Homecoming Week to the ultimate frisbee competition to movie nights to tailgating to Lip Syncs to Field Day. These aren't even a quarter of the events CHS has throughout the year. There are so many opportunities to bond with your fellow Wildcats. There are all different types of people at CHS- preppy, jocks, country, hipster, "nerdy", etc. Everyone tends to be one big family and gets along great. If you want more information, check out the CHS website or the CHS Instagram and Twitter accounts (WildcatHAPPS). Close Quote

the school doesnt have many choices for to take forign language... in other states there are like 10-15 different type to choose from(the east side of america) The school's level and course are regular and honors in Clarksville high school. but in the other parts of usa has Regular, honors and GT/AP. I think the schools in TN should have GT(Gifted and Talented) classes too. Close Quote
