Clarksville-Montgomery<br />
County School System<br />
The Clarksville-Montgomery County School System<br />
(CMCSS) continues to be recognized nationally for<br />
its academic <strong>and</strong> professional achievements, as well<br />
as its progressive <strong>and</strong> innovative methods for helping<br />
students become college <strong>and</strong> career ready. For four<br />
years straight, the system has been number one in<br />
the state for academic growth.<br />
As an ISO-9001:2015 certified organization focused on<br />
continuous improvement, CMCSS continues to develop<br />
<strong>and</strong> strengthen a variety of programs for ensuring student<br />
success. Sixteen of its 40 schools were recognized<br />
as Reward Schools, performing in the top five percent<br />
statewide. After-school programs, virtual high school,<br />
36<br />
<strong>and</strong> credit recovery, as well as other intervention <strong>and</strong><br />
transition programs for children in elementary, middle<br />
<strong>and</strong> high school, provide students with greater learning<br />
advantages <strong>and</strong> opportunities to stay on track with their<br />
peers. With the increased rigor in academic areas,<br />
students on all learning levels can benefit.<br />
Thinking outside of the box, the<br />
school system has eight college <strong>and</strong><br />
career academies in each of the<br />
high schools, a Middle College High<br />
School on the campus of Austin<br />
Peay State University, an Early<br />
Technical College at Tennessee<br />
College of Applied Technology <strong>and</strong><br />
many other early postsecondary<br />
opportunities. In partnership with<br />
Austin Peay, two high schools offer<br />
the study of Korean <strong>and</strong> Japanese.<br />
In 2018, CMCSS opened its first<br />
Spanish language immersion school<br />
for kindergarten through fifth grade.
