Summary
Richview Middle School is a large public middle school in Clarksville, Tennessee, serving 1,174 students in grades 6–8 as part of the Clarksville-Montgomery County Schools. It is a consistently high-performing school, ranking 71st out of 594 Tennessee middle schools in the most recent school year — placing it in the 88th percentile with a 4-star rating. On state assessments, Richview students beat both district and state averages by wide margins in every core subject: math proficiency was 51.6% (state 43.0%), English language arts 47.7% (state 40.6%), science 64.7% (state 46.9%), and social studies 69.6% (state 51.4%).
What truly sets Richview apart from nearby schools is its advanced math and special education programs. In 2024–2025, the school posted a stunning 91.7% proficiency rate in Algebra I, compared to just 26.1% for the district and 29.4% for the state. Richview's special education students also rank 29th out of 349 schools statewide — a jump from 107th just two years earlier — making it a standout in supporting students with IEPs. Chronic absenteeism is also below average at 14.4%, compared to 18.3% statewide. Among nearby schools, only Rossview Middle School approaches Richview's results, while schools like West Creek Middle School, Northeast Middle School, and Kenwood Middle School lag far behind, with math proficiency ranging from 21% to 34%.
That said, there are areas worth watching. Proficiency declines steadily as students progress: 6th-grade math starts at 63.1% but drops to 42.2% by 8th grade, while Rossview's 8th graders hold steady at 54.2%. Richview also did not report Algebra I data in 2025–2026 after two banner years, and low-income students, while still above state averages, rank in the 70th percentile — below the school's overall 88th-percentile standing. On the positive side, Richview spends less per student ($11,675) than several lower-performing nearby schools, making it an efficient and cost-effective choice. Overall, Richview remains one of the top middle schools in the Clarksville area.
