West Creek High

Summary:

West Creek High is a public high school in Clarksville, Tennessee, serving 1,755 students in grades 9-12. 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.

West Creek High stands out for its diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 30.43% White, 34.13% African American, and 22.34% Hispanic. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates, is generally lower than the Montgomery County and Tennessee state averages. For example, only 34.7% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better in Biology I, compared to 47.6% in the district and 36.5% statewide. West Creek High's statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating have also fluctuated over the years, ranging from 106th out of 358 Tennessee high schools (4 stars) in 2021-2022 to 193rd out of 384 (3 stars) in 2022-2023. This variability is notable compared to the more consistent high rankings of nearby schools like Clarksville High and Rossview High.

The key findings about West Creek High suggest several areas for improvement. The school's declining racial diversity, inconsistent academic performance, and significant disparities in student subgroup performance indicate the need for targeted interventions and a more equitable approach to education. By closely examining these factors and learning from the success of higher-performing nearby schools, West Creek High can develop strategies to enhance the overall educational experience and outcomes for all its students.

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.
