Summary

Kenwood Middle School is a public school in Clarksville, TN, serving 1,083 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Clarksville-Montgomery County Schools. While the district itself is well-regarded, Kenwood currently ranks 420th out of 594 middle schools in Tennessee, placing it in the 29th percentile and earning a 1-star rating. Among its immediate neighbors, Kenwood is the lowest-ranked school. For example, Rossview Middle School and Richview Middle School both rank in the 88th percentile, while Kirkwood Middle School ranks in the 84th.

Academically, Kenwood trails its local peers and the state in every core subject. Proficiency rates in Math (21%) and ELA (21%) are roughly half the district and state averages. Science (38.1%) and Social Studies (46.5%) also lag behind. Even Kenwood's advanced students face challenges: 8th-grade Algebra I proficiency (58.3%) is drastically below the district average (93.8%). Attendance is another major concern. With a chronic absenteeism rate of 19.1%, Kenwood has the highest rate in its local comparison group, affecting nearly 1 in 5 students.

Interestingly, Kenwood's spending is not the issue. At $12,278 per student, it spends more than higher-performing neighbors like Kirkwood Middle School ($11,438) and West Creek Middle School ($11,750). This suggests the gap isn't purely about resources. There are bright spots to build on, including relative success with English Language Learners. However, with attendance rising again recently and 8th-grade scores showing a clear decline from 6th grade, focusing on student engagement, literacy instruction, and learning from successful nearby schools like Rossview and Richview could be key to turning things around.
