CMCSS Facts
The Clarksville-Montgomery County School System has a focused effort on
improving student achievement for the 31,215 pre-kindergarten through twelfth
grade students it serves. CMCSS continues to be recognized nationally for its
academic and professional achievements as well as its progressive methods for
helping students succeed.
School system employees are focused on personalization – meaning
that they work to understand the individual needs of each student and try
to accommodate those needs. There is a shared belief throughout the school
system that every child can learn and succeed.
CMCSS continues to develop and strengthen a variety of programs for
ensuring student success. After-school programs, innovative approaches
in programs like virtual high school and credit recovery, as well as other
intervention and transition programs for children in elementary, middle and
high school give students greater learning advantages and provide them with
opportunities to stay on track with their peers. With increased rigor in academic
areas, students on all learning levels can benefit. CMCSS schools often
are visited by educational organizations from across the country because of
continued innovative practices with students. Thinking outside of the box,
the school system started freshmen academies in each of the high schools,
a Middle College High School on the campus of Austin Peay State University,
a four-year academy for Science Technology Engineering Mathematics
(STEM) housed within Kenwood High School.
As the seventh largest school district in Tennessee and the second fastest
growing city of its size in the nation, CMCSS has worked to keep up with
growth by overseeing the construction of new schools and remodeling of existing
schools. The system’s thirty-seventh school, Carmel Elementary, opens
this year; and, a $20 million reconstruction was completed at Montgomery
Central High School. Another new elementary school, Pisgah Elementary,
will open in 2014, and a major renovation of Northwest High School began
in the summer. Approximately thirty percent of the students served in the
school system are military dependents – nearly twice as many as are served at
Fort Campbell Schools.
CMCSS is one of a distinguished group of school districts that has earned
whole district accreditation from AdvancEd. In June 2012, the School System
was recommended for ISO-9001:2008 Certification which is an international
standard for quality management recognized by professional organizations and
industries worldwide. Student graduation rates have risen steadily over the last
six years and was 93.5 percent, among the highest in the state.
