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.
