New Providence Middle

Summary:

New Providence Middle is a public middle school located in Clarksville, Tennessee, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,058 students. The school is part of the Montgomery County school district, which is ranked 55 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

New Providence Middle has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of African American (26.37%) and Hispanic (15.88%) students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by TNReady test scores, is generally lower than the Montgomery County and Tennessee state averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (22.1%) and English Language Arts (26.4%) for all grades were significantly below the county (37.9% and 39.4%) and state (39.7% and 37.6%) averages. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students performing better than female students and low socioeconomic status students.

Despite these challenges, New Providence Middle stands out for its exceptional Algebra I performance, with proficiency rates of over 90% for 8th-grade students, significantly higher than the county and state averages. However, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the years, from a high of 129 out of 362 Tennessee middle schools in 2016-2017 to a low of 311 out of 580 in 2023-2024, with its star rating fluctuating between 2 and 3 stars. Nearby schools, such as Montgomery Central Middle, Kirkwood Middle, and Rossview Middle, generally outperform New Providence Middle in academic achievement, with higher proficiency rates and higher statewide rankings.

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.
