Summary

Oakland Elementary School is a large K-5 school in Clarksville, Tennessee, serving 1,044 students within the Clarksville-Montgomery County Schools district. The school currently holds a 3-star rating and sits near the middle of the statewide pack at the 51st percentile of Tennessee elementary schools—a notable shift from its days as a top performer when it ranked in the 89th percentile back in 2017-18.

Academically, Oakland presents a mixed picture. On the most recent TNReady assessments, the school slightly outperformed the state in English Language Arts (43.3% proficient versus 40.6%) and science (49.8% versus 46.9%), but math lagged behind at 36.9% proficiency compared to 43.0% statewide. Perhaps the most encouraging trend is the grade-by-grade progression: 3rd graders start below state averages in all subjects, but by 5th grade, students are at or above state averages in math, ELA, and science. Oakland also compares favorably to some nearby schools—it outperforms Byrns Darden Elementary School and Kenwood Elementary School despite spending less per student, though Rossview Elementary School and West Creek Elementary School do post stronger results overall.

Attendance is a clear bright spot, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 12.6%—better than both the district (15.1%) and state (18.3%) averages. The most significant concern is the achievement gap for economically disadvantaged students, who rank at the 26th percentile statewide, well below the school's overall 51st-percentile standing. Special education students have also seen a decline in recent years. With solid attendance and a demonstrated ability to help students close academic ground by 5th grade, Oakland has a strong foundation, but targeted support for its lower-performing subgroups will be key to reversing its long-term decline and rebuilding its earlier reputation.

Friday, December 11, 2020

i went there from 2nd grade to 5th when it was first built. the teachers were amazing. The special area teachers are fun, and they have extra people to help the special needs kids. The playground got new things last year which hopefully no one has fallen off if it.. I wasnt able to really use the new things since i didnt attend there anymore but i know the other things were fun to play on. If you cant play outside your teacher would have things for you to play with inside. The school would do fundraisers too, some we could do activities in. I dont know if the teachers i had still teach at oakland, but i do know mrs. mccoin still does. Im unsure about what else to put, but it is an overall good school. Close Quote
