Minglewood Elementary

Summary:

Minglewood Elementary is a public elementary school in Clarksville, Tennessee, serving 744 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.

Despite increased per-student spending, Minglewood Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Tennessee elementary schools over the past 7 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is significantly below the state and county averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 15.7% of Minglewood students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 39.7% statewide and 37.9% in Montgomery County. The school's performance is particularly low for White students, ranking in the bottom 10% of Tennessee elementary schools in this subgroup for Mathematics.

Minglewood's diverse student population includes a higher percentage of African American (36.56%) and Hispanic (17.07%) students compared to the state and county averages. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may be a contributing factor to its low academic performance. When compared to nearby schools like Barkers Mill Elementary and West Creek Elementary, Minglewood consistently underperforms on academic measures, suggesting the need for a comprehensive, data-driven approach to school improvement.

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.
