Summary

Kirkwood Elementary School is a PK-5 elementary school in Clarksville, TN serving 805 students in the Clarksville-Montgomery County School District, and it's a clear academic standout—earning a 5-star rating and ranking 65th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools (94th percentile statewide). On the 2025-26 TNReady assessments, Kirkwood's proficiency rates were exceptionally high: 73.3% in math, 70.5% in English language arts, and 74.3% in science. Those numbers beat the district and state averages by roughly 27 to 31 percentage points in every subject. Simply put, the vast majority of Kirkwood students are meeting or exceeding grade-level expectations.

Kirkwood is among the top elementary schools in the Clarksville area. Only Spanish Immersion @ Barksdale (ranked 26th) and Sango Elementary (ranked 40th) rank higher among nearby schools, while Kirkwood's 65th-place finish puts it ahead of East Montgomery Elementary, Carmel Elementary, Rossview Elementary, and others. Kirkwood achieves these results at scale—serving 805 students versus just 274 at Spanish Immersion—while posting the third-highest math, ELA, and science scores in the local cluster. It also spends less per student ($12,417) than lower-performing schools like Barksdale Elementary ($15,610) and Moore Magnet Elementary ($14,934), suggesting efficient use of resources.

Perhaps most impressive is Kirkwood's success across all student groups. The school ranks in the 91st–97th percentile statewide for African American, Hispanic, low-income, and special education students—each earning a 5-star rating. One area to watch: ELA proficiency declines from 77% in 3rd grade to 66% in 5th grade, which may signal a need for stronger upper-elementary literacy support. Attendance data was not reported for Kirkwood, so parents may want to ask the school directly about chronic absenteeism. Overall, Kirkwood combines top-tier academics, strong results across a diverse student body, and efficient spending—making it one of the highest-rated elementary options in the district.
