Kenwood Elementary

Summary:

Kenwood Elementary is a public elementary school in Clarksville, Tennessee, serving 687 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Montgomery County school district, which is ranked 55 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kenwood Elementary has a diverse student population, with a roughly even split between White (33.62%) and African American (33.19%) students, and 18.78% Hispanic students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by TNReady test scores, is generally below the Montgomery County and Tennessee state averages across all grades and subjects. In 2023-2024, Kenwood's proficiency rates in Mathematics (20.8%) and English Language Arts (30.5%) are significantly lower than the county (37.9% and 39.4%) and state (39.7% and 37.6%) averages. The school's performance is particularly low for White and Special Education student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of Tennessee elementary schools. Kenwood's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 189 out of 646 Tennessee elementary schools in 2016-2017 to a current ranking of 742 out of 1,008 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 4 stars to 1 star during the same period.

Comparing Kenwood Elementary to nearby schools in the Montgomery County district, such as West Creek Elementary, which has significantly higher proficiency rates in Mathematics (38.1%), English Language Arts (47.6%), and Science (49%), highlights the potential for improvement at Kenwood. However, the school's declining academic performance, growing achievement gaps between racial subgroups, and low rankings suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges facing Kenwood Elementary.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
