Summary

New Providence Middle School is a mid-size public school serving 1,012 students in grades 6–8 in Clarksville, TN, and is part of the Clarksville-Montgomery County Schools district, ranked 43rd of 141 Tennessee districts. The school holds a 2-star rating and ranks 330th of 594 Tennessee middle schools (44th percentile). Academic proficiency trails district and state averages in most subjects. Math proficiency is 26.7% versus 42.1% districtwide and 43.0% statewide; ELA is 27.9% versus 42.3% districtwide and 40.6% statewide. Science (46.8%) essentially matches the state average, and social studies (47.9%) is closer to the state mark (51.4%).

Among nearby middle schools, New Providence sits in the middle-low band. It ranks above Northeast Middle School (337th) and Kenwood Middle School (420th), but trails West Creek Middle School (264th) and is far behind Montgomery Central Middle School (157th), Kirkwood Middle School (95th), Richview Middle School (71st), and Rossview Middle School (69th). Its math and ELA proficiency rates are roughly 15–25 points below the top-performing nearby schools. The trend is positive, though: math proficiency has risen from 22.1% (2023–24) to 26.7% (2025–26), and ELA from 26.4% to 27.9%. Chronic absenteeism, at 18.8%, is the second-highest among eight nearby middle schools—behind only Kenwood Middle School (19.1%)—and above the district rate of 15.1%. The three highest-performing nearby schools all have absenteeism below 16%, suggesting attendance is a key lever for improving outcomes.

The school spends more per student ($12,398) than several schools that outperform it academically, including Kirkwood Middle School ($11,438), Richview Middle School ($11,675), Rossview Middle School ($12,105), and West Creek Middle School ($11,750). The school shows notable subgroup strengths: English Learner students ranked at the 88th percentile statewide, special education students around the 53rd–60th percentile, and low-income students improved to the 56th percentile. Military-connected students, however, ranked at the 23rd percentile. Math proficiency also declines by grade—from 30.1% in 6th grade to 24.4% in 8th grade—leaving 8th graders nearly 14 points below the state average. With science as a relative strength and several targeted supports working well, the school has room to build on its recent upward trajectory.
