Summary

East Montgomery Elementary School is a PK–5 elementary school in Clarksville, TN, serving 836 students as part of the Clarksville-Montgomery County Schools district. The school has been a consistently high performer for nearly a decade, earning a 5-star rating and ranking 87th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools in 2025–2026, which places it in the 91st percentile statewide.

Academically, East Montgomery outperforms its district and state by substantial margins. In 2025–2026, math proficiency was 64.2% compared to 42.1% for the district and 43.0% for the state; English language arts proficiency was 69.2% versus 42.3% and 40.6%; and science proficiency was 73.7% versus 53.5% and 46.9%. The school also stands out for attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 8.9% compared to 15.1% for the district and 18.3% statewide. Among nearby schools, East Montgomery outranks Norman Smith Elementary School (30th percentile), Barksdale Elementary School (67th), and Byrns Darden Elementary School (9th). Only Spanish Immersion @ Barksdale School (97th percentile) and Sango Elementary School (96th) rank higher in the immediate area.

East Montgomery achieves these results while spending $12,868 per student — considerably less than nearby schools that produce weaker outcomes. The school is particularly effective with African American, Hispanic, and military-connected students, all of whom perform in the 90th percentile or above statewide. However, math proficiency has declined from 76.4% in 2022–2023 to 64.2% in 2025–2026, even as district and state averages improved. Third-grade proficiency also trails 4th and 5th grades, suggesting a possible opportunity for earlier intervention. Outcomes for economically disadvantaged and special education students have softened somewhat in recent years, though they remain above average. Even with these trends, East Montgomery remains one of the strongest elementary schools in the Clarksville area.
