Summary

Northeast High School is a comprehensive public high school in Clarksville, TN, serving 1,335 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Clarksville-Montgomery County Schools district. In the latest 2025–2026 ranking, Northeast earned 4 stars and ranked 108th out of 400 Tennessee high schools — a dramatic jump of 106 positions from the previous year, when it ranked 214th. This was the largest year-over-year improvement among nearby comprehensive high schools, outpacing Jo Byrns High School, Kenwood High School, Montgomery Central High School, Northwest High School, Clarksville High School, Kirkwood High School, and Rossview High School. While the school's ranking has been volatile over the past decade, ranging from about the 41st to 77th percentile, the current position is near the upper end of its recent range.

Northeast showed broad academic improvement in 2025–2026, with proficiency rates rising in every subject. The school now outperforms the state average in Geometry, Biology, and English II, while English I, Algebra I, and Algebra II remain areas of concern. US History proficiency (43.5%) trails the district average significantly (58.3%). The school excels with specific student groups: low-income students ranked at the 92nd percentile statewide, a standout result compared with other Tennessee high schools, and Hispanic, African American, White, and Special Education students all earned 4-star subgroup ratings in the latest ranking.

The school's biggest challenges are graduation and attendance. The 2024–2025 graduation rate of 89.9% is below the district (91.1%) and state (90.5%) averages, and lower than most nearby schools, including Kirkwood High School (94.3%), Jo Byrns High School (94.4%), Rossview High School (93.2%), and West Creek High School (93.1%). Dropout rates, however, are low and improving — 3.3% in 2024–2025, down from 9.1% two years earlier. Chronic absenteeism (17.1%) is slightly above the district average but better than several local peers. Northeast spends $12,315 per student, more than higher-performing nearby schools like Kirkwood High School and Rossview High School, so families will want to watch whether these recent gains are sustained in the coming years.
